After a couple of days you get tired of turkey and mashed potato leftovers. What’s a guy to do? I decided to make Wontons! You probably already have everything you need, leftover turkey, some leftover mashed potatoes, some green onion, and some leftover gravy.
I’ll be the first to admit that I haven’t made a lot of wontons. Before tonight, I haven’t made one wonton! LOL! But I was determined to make something new with my turkey and mashed potato leftovers. I looked for various recipes and didn’t see anything I liked. So, I made up my own recipe.
I had some wonton recipes and all the leftovers from Thanksgiving, so I made Turkey and Mashed Potato Wontons!
If you want to try something new with your leftovers, make Wontons!

Loading...Turkey and Mashed Potato Wontons and Gravy Sauce
Ingredients
- 2 cups mashed potatoes
- 1 lb leftover turkey, chopped finely
- 2-3 tbsp green onion, finely chopped
- Wonton wrappers
- 1 egg, beaten
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1-2 quarts peanut oil or any oil for frying
Instructions
Preheat oil in a large skillet to 350 degrees
Mix the mashed potatoes, chopped turkey, and green onion in a mixing bowl
Take about 1/2 - 1 teaspoon of the mashed potato and turkey mixture and put it on the wonton wrapper. You want to be able to fold over the wrapper without the filling spilling out
Put a fine layer of the egg on the wonton wrapper to seal it shut
Fold over the wrapper, one corner to the other and seal it shut with your fingers
Assemble at least three or four wontons before putting in the oil
Gently place the assembled wontons in the preheated oil and fry until golden brown
About halfway through the cooking process, flip the wontons
Once fully cooked, transfer to a platter with a paper towel or cooling rack
Continue cooking until the mixture is gone
Heat the gravy in a bowl or ramekin for dipping
