A spin off of our Easy Chicken Croquettes, and just as tasty. Great for OAMC too. The croquettes freeze well, then just pop them in the microwave for a quick meal or snack. :) Ingredients:
2 -3 cups cooked turkey, chopped up (leftovers) |
2 cups prepared stuffing (leftovers) |
2 eggs, slightly beaten |
flour, for dredging |
breadcrumbs, for dredging |
3 tablespoons vegetable oil, for frying (may need more or less) |
1 (12 ounce) can condensed cream of chicken soup (1 can) |
1/2 cup 2% low-fat milk |
Directions:
1. Mix the turkey, stuffing, and eggs well. Refrigerate 3 hours minimum.
2. Create a 'log' shape from about 3/4 cup of mixture. Then gently drop onto the counter to flatten the bottom. (about 3 high, 2 in diameter).
3. Roll the croquettes in flour, then bread crumbs. Fry in oil in deep skillet over medium heat, turning occasionally, until golden brown on all sides and bottom, about 10-15 minutes. Keep warm in 200 degree Fahrenheit oven.
4. Sauce: (or you can use leftover gravy) Meanwhile, mix the can of soup with the half cup milk in a saucepan. Cook, stirring constantly, until warmed and creamy.
5. Pour over croquettes or serve sauce on the side. Traditionally served atop mashed potatoes for a wonderful presentation.
