Turkey croquettes with leftovers Ingredients: •2 cups finely minced leftover turkey •1 cup leftover seasoned mashed potatoes •1 tablespoon finely chopped parsley •1/4 teaspoon black pepper •***Sauce*** •2 tablespoons butter •6 green onions, with a few inches of green, thinly sliced •1 clove garlic, finely minced (you can omit if using garlic mashed potatoes) •4 tablespoons flour •1/4 cup chicken broth •1/4 cup milk •1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste •***Coating*** •1/2 cup allCoating-purpose flour •2 large eggs, lightly beaten with 1 tablespoon cold water •2 cups finely ground fresh bread crumbs Preparation: Combine the turkey, mashed potatoes, parsley, and black pepper. In a saucepan over medium heat, melt butter. Add green onions and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Add the flour and stir until well blended. Stir in chicken broth and milk. continue cooking, stirring, for 2 minutes. Add salt, to taste. Combine with the turkey mixture, blending well. Cover and refrigerate until thoroughly chilled, about 1 to 2 hours. Put 1/2 cup of flour in a plate. Beat eggs in a bowl with 1 tablespoon of water. Put the finely ground bread crumbs in another bowl. Shape croquette mixture into 1 1/2-inch balls (a little smaller if youre making appetizers). Roll gently in the flour to coat, then in the egg until coated. Coat with the bread crumbs. Place on a waxed paper or foil-lined cookie sheet. Repeat with remaining turkey mixture and crumbs. I keep plenty of paper towels and a bowl of water handy to keep my hands relatively clean. Let the croquettes stand for about 30 to 45 minutes to dry a bit. Heat oil to about 360°. Fry the croquettes in small batches for about 1 1/2 to 2 minutes, depending on size, or until golden brown. Drain on paper towels. Serve with hot turkey gravy and cranberry sauce as part of a post-holiday meal or as appetizers for guests. Makes about 16 to 18 1 1/2-inch croquettes.
