Turkey and Cranberry Ravioli

This ravioli is heavenly. We always make it the day after Thanksgiving, and it's a great way to enjoy the flavors of the season in a different way, using up leftovers at the same time! Okay, who am I kidding? Sometimes I make it in July... We usually double the recipe. This is great dairy free or with dairy.

Ingredients

Ravioli:
1/4 pound leftover turkey, chopped very small
2 Tbsp cranberry sauce
1 Tbsp gf stuffing crumbs (No worries if you don't have this, just skip it, but thrown in a tiny sprinkle of thyme or sage if you like in its place.)
1 Tbsp chopped fresh parsley leaves (optional, but lightens it up) (2 tsp dried parsley is good, too!)
1 egg
1/4 tsp kosher salt
1/4 black pepper
10 gf ravioli skins (see my gluten free recipe here if not buying from a store)

Gravy:
6 Tbsp oil or butter
1 med onion or 2 shallots, chopped
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour or gluten free flour


2 Tbsp chopped parsley leaves (1 Tbsp dried parsley is fine if you don't have fresh.)
1/2 tsp salt
1/8 tsp pepper 

Directions

While you are creating everything, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. 

To make the ravioli: in a medium bowl, stir together the turkey, cranberry sauce, cheese, stuffing crumbs, parsley, egg, salt, and pepper. Place 10 ravioli skins on a work surface. Brush lightly with water using a pastry brush or your fingers. Place 1 tablespoon of the turkey mixture on each of the wonton wrappers. Top with another wonton wrapper. Push out any air bubbles and press the edges tightly to seal. I like doing the edges with a fork to really seal things.
          
To make the gravy: in a medium, heavy skillet, heat the butter or oil over medium heat. Add the onions and cook until tender, about 5 minutes. Add the flour and stir until cooked, about 1 minute, to make a roux. Slowly add the chicken broth, stirring quickly to avoid lumps. Add the milk or dairy-free milk, parsley, salt, and pepper and cook, without boiling, for 2 minutes, stirring often. Taste and adjust salt/pepper if needed. 
        
Back to the boiling pot of water... Add the ravioli and cook until tender but still firm to the bite and the egg is cooked, stirring occasionally, about 3 minutes. Pick up ravioli with strainer spoon, place into gravy to keep ravioli from sticking to each other.  Serve immediately in individual dishes, drizzled with the remaining gravy or small dollops of cranberry sauce and parsley sprinkles.
