Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 box Stove Top Savory Herbs Stuffing
- 1 white mushroom, diced
- Oil for frying (about 2 cups)
- 1 package wonton wrappers
- 4 tablespoons margarine
- 1 can cranberry sauce or homemade cranberry sauce
Instructions
- Heat the Oil: In a cast iron skillet, pour about 2 cups of oil and set it to low heat. Allow the oil to gradually heat up while you prepare the stuffing mixture.
- Prepare the Stuffing: In a small pot, add water as instructed on the stuffing package, along with the diced white mushroom and margarine. Cook the mixture based on the package directions until fully combined and heated through.
- Assemble Wontons: Lay out a wonton wrapper and place about half a tablespoon of the prepared stuffing in the center. Fold the wrapper carefully to seal the edges.
- Fry the Wontons: Carefully place the stuffed wontons into the hot oil. Fry each side for about 20 seconds until they turn golden and crispy. Use a spider or slotted spoon to flip and handle the wontons to avoid burns.
- Drain and Serve: Remove the fried wontons from the oil and drain on paper towels to remove excess oil. Serve warm with cranberry sauce or gravy on the side for dipping.
Notes
- Be careful when frying as the oil is hot and wontons cook quickly.
- Ensure the wontons are sealed tightly to prevent filling from leaking.
- Use a spider or slotted spoon for safe handling during frying.
- Serve immediately for the best crispy texture.
- You can substitute cranberry sauce with gravy or your favorite dipping sauce.
