Prep Time: 15 mins
Cook Time: 10 mins
Total Time: 25 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 12 cupcakes
Ingredients
- 12 wonton wrappers
- 1 cup cooked turkey, diced
- 1/2 cup bacon, cooked and crumbled
- 1/2 cup lettuce, shredded
- 1/2 cup tomato, diced
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly spray a 12-cup muffin tin with non-stick cooking spray.
- Carefully press one wonton wrapper into each muffin cup, gently forming them to create a cup-like shape. Ensure the edges are slightly folded and pressed against the sides of the tin.
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine diced cooked turkey, crumbled bacon, mayonnaise, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated.
- Spoon the turkey and bacon mixture evenly into each wonton wrapper, filling them about 2/3 full.
- Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the wonton wrappers turn golden brown and crispy at the edges.
- Remove from the oven and let cool in the tin for 2-3 minutes to allow the wonton cups to set.
- Carefully remove the wonton cupcakes from the tin using a small offset spatula or butter knife.
- Top each cupcake with diced tomatoes and shredded lettuce just before serving.
- Serve immediately while the wonton wrappers are still crisp and warm.
Tips
- Customize Your Fillings: Feel free to get creative with the filling! You can add ingredients like avocado, cheese, or even a splash of hot sauce for an extra kick.
- Perfectly Crispy Wontons: To ensure your wonton wrappers turn out perfectly crispy, make sure to bake them until they are golden brown. Keep an eye on them in the oven, as they can go from perfectly crispy to burnt quickly!
- Make Ahead: You can prepare the turkey and bacon mixture in advance and store it in the fridge. Just fill the wonton wrappers and bake them right before serving for a fresh-out-of-the-oven treat.
- Serving Suggestions: For an extra touch, serve these wonton cupcakes with a side of ranch or a tangy dipping sauce. They make a great finger food for any occasion!
- Storage Tips: If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the fridge. To reheat, pop them back in the oven for a few minutes to restore their crispiness.
