BAKED TURKEY CROQUETTES- GUEST BLOG

-
Andrea made this recipe from Skinny Taste it was such a great way to use up all that turkey --she said serving it with gravy was an absolute must!


  • 12 oz cooked turkey breast, chopped fine (a food processor or chopper is great for this)
  • 3 medium potatoes, peeled, cooked and mashed
  • 3/4 cup chicken broth
  • 2 teaspoons 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
  • leftover turkey gravy for serving, optiona
  • In a large bowl, mash potatoes with 1/4 cup broth, salt and pepper. Set aside.
  • Saute garlic, and onions in oil over 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°F.
  • Measure 1/4 cup of mixture then form into croquettes. Place on waxed paper. Repeat with remaining mixture.
  • Dip each croquette in egg mixture, then breadcrumbs and place on a parchment lined cookie sheet for easy cleanup. Spray generously with olive oil (about 1 tbsp worth). Bake in the oven about 15 minutes, or until golden.
  • Optional, serve with leftover turkey gravy.

We made this for dinner tonight and Kevin kept raving about the smoky flavor to it and suddenly stated you need to blog this (which I already intended to).
