Not sure what to do with all your leftover turkey? Croquettes are a perfect way to use your leftover turkey!
I grew up eating these, but my mom always fries hers. I was hoping to make them lighter by baking them instead, and the results were great. I sprayed them generously with my misto and then baked them. Top them with a little turkey gravy or chicken gravy and serve with and a vegetable on the side. These also make great appetizers. You could substitute chicken breast for turkey if you wish. Enjoy!
Ingredients:
12 oz cooked turkey breast, chopped fine (a food processor or chopper is great for this)
3 potatoes, peeled, cooked and mashed
3/4 cup fat free chicken broth
2 tsp olive oil
3 cloves garlic
1 medium onion, chopped
1/2 cup parsley, chopped
salt and fresh pepper
1/2 cup seasoned whole wheat bread crumbs
1 egg, whisked
olive oil spray (about 1 tbsp)
Directions:
In a large bowl, mash potatoes with 1/4 cup broth, salt and pepper.
Set aside.
Saute garlic, and onions in oil on low heat.
Add parsley, salt and pepper and cook until soft, about 2-3 minutes.
Add turkey, and remaining broth, mix well and shut heat off.
Add turkey to mashed potatoes and using your clean hands
mix well .
Taste for salt and adjust if needed.
Preheat oven to 450°.
Measure 1/4 cup of mixture then form into croquettes.
Place on waxed paper.
Repeat with remaining mixture.
Dip each croquette in egg wash, then breadcrumbs and place on a parchment lined cookie sheet for easy cleanup.
Spray generously with olive oil spray (about 1 tbsp worth).
Bake in the oven about 15 minutes, or until golden.
