Ingredients
Instructions
- Step 1
Stir the mashed potatoes and 1 whisked egg in a bowl until combined and set aside.
- Step 2
In a separate bowl, combine the chopped turkey and shredded cheese stirring to combine.
- 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.
- 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.
- Step 5
Place the second whisked egg in a bowl and the breadcrumbs in a seperate bowl.
- Step 6
Roll each potato croquette gently into the egg and then into the breadcrumbs covering them completely.
- 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.
- 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.)
- Step 9
Using a slotted spoon, transfer the croquettes to the paper towel-lined plate and immediately season them with salt.
- Step 10
Serve with gravy or cranberry sauce.
