Bird's Thanksgiving Leftover Croquettes image

A spin off of our Recipe #253952, 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. :)

Yield 8 croquettes, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

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

Steps:

  • Mix the turkey, stuffing, and eggs well. Refrigerate 3 hours minimum.
  • 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).
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • Pour over croquettes or serve sauce on the side. Traditionally served atop mashed potatoes for a wonderful presentation.
