Leftover Turkey Wontons

So...it is the day after Thanksgiving and time to search for recipes for leftover turkey. Even though I only got a 13 lb turkey about 1/3 of it remained. I guess there were just too many other dishes and even when you are just having only a little of all the dishes you still fill up. But I am proud to say most of my dishes were gone and you know what they say "the proof of the pudding is in the eating"
                  Anyway, here is one recipe with left over turkey. And instead of frying the wontons I baked them and they turned out pretty yummy but with lot fewer calories.

Left Over Turkey Wontons (Turkey stuffed wontons baked to perfection)

Baked Turkey wontons with Thai Peanut Sauce
Ingredients:
  1. 1 package ready made wontons wrappers (I have round 50 count)
  2. 2 cups cooked turkey chopped fine
  3. 1/4 cup onion
  4. 1/4 cup finely shredded carrot
  5. 2 tablespoons sweet and spicy sauce
  6. 2-3 tablespoons soy sauce
  7. 1 tablespoons roasted sesame seeds
Mix all the ingredients except wonton wrappers in a boil. Lay one wonton on a clean surface and place 1 teaspoon of stuffing in the center. Wet the wonton around with a finger dipped in water. Lay over with another wonton on top of the filling. Press all around and lay on a greaced baking sheet. Brush the top of the wontons with canola oil or butter

Pre heat oven to 350 degrees and put the wontons into the oven. Bake at 350 degrees for 15 minutes. Turn the wontons and leave it in the oven (after shutting it down) for 5 more minutes. Let them cool a bit before serving with sauce of your choice
