Ingredients

Instructions

0 of 10 done
  1. Step 1

    Stir the mashed potatoes and 1 whisked egg in a bowl until combined and set aside.

  2. Step 2

    In a separate bowl, combine the chopped turkey and shredded cheese stirring to combine.

  3. Step 3

    Take 2 teaspoons of the turkey cheese mixture and form into 1 inch balls. You want to roll them tight so the turkey and cheese bind together.

  4. Step 4

    Take 2 tablespoons of the potato egg mixture and form a patty in the palm of your hand, place a turkey cheese ball in the center and fold the potato mixture around the turkey cheese ball to make a larger ball.

  5. Step 5

    Place the second whisked egg in a bowl and the breadcrumbs in a seperate bowl.

  6. Step 6

    Roll each potato croquette gently into the egg and then into the breadcrumbs covering them completely.

  7. Step 7

    Add the oil to a heavy bottomed pot over medium/high heat. The oil is hot enough if you put a few leftover breadcrumbs in and they sizzle immediately.

  8. Step 8

    Add the croquettes to oil and fry for about 60 seconds, turning occasionally, until the outside is crispy. (Alternatively, you can bake at 400°F for 20 minutes.)

  9. Step 9

    Using a slotted spoon, transfer the croquettes to the paper towel-lined plate and immediately season them with salt.

  10. Step 10

    Serve with gravy or cranberry sauce.
