These are tasty little croquettes - Turkish in origin. The recipe originally called for beyaz peynir which is a Turkish cheese so if you can find it in your area use this instead of the feta cheese. The croquettes can be shallow fried or for a healthier option baked in the oven. I have freezed them and reheated, they taste fine.
