Turkey Dinner Croquettes image

This is a very delicious concoction Dawn created. These croquettes are a great way to use your leftover turkey and stuffing. The Cheese-Its crumbs add a bit more flavor than traditional bread crumbs. And I loved using the French fried onions as the coating. This just adds to the overall flavors. What's great is you can really use...

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 10

10-12 oz turkey, cooked (holiday dinner leftovers work)
1 c stuffing (holiday leftovers)
1 stalk(s) celery, diced
2 small green onions, finely chopped
1 c cauliflower & broccoli florettes, green bean casserole or corn
1 large egg
1 - 1 1/2 c cracker crumbs *I used Cheeze-Its*
pinch salt and pepper
1 c French fried onions or crackers, crushed
olive oil

Steps:

  • 1. Using a food processor, chopper or Bullet finely chop meat, celery, onion, cauliflower, and broccoli.
  • 2. Stir in stuffing and 1c crushed cracker crumbs. *I used Cheeze-Its & saltines but any flavor of crackers would work.
  • 3. Whisk egg well and add to mixture along with a pinch of salt and pepper. *This makes a good binder for the patties*
  • 4. Take a scoop of the mixture and roll into a ball that sticks together (add more cracker crumbs if it's not holding together well). Press ball into patties the size of a standard burger bun in diameter.
  • 5. Dredge patties in crushed French fried onion or remaining cracker crumbs if desired.
  • 6. Heat a skillet to medium heat and use 2 tbsp olive oil fry the patties for 3-5 minutes on each size until golden brown.
  • 7. Serve these patties on a bed of fresh greens with a light dressing (sour Cream w/chives) or on a grilled sesame bun topped with tomato, cucumber & lettuce. Make the patties smaller for appetizers.
