Ingredients

6 tablespoons butter
1/2 cup flour
1 cup milk
1 cup chicken broth
2 teaspoons lemon juice
2 tablespoons snipped parsley
2 teaspoons grated onion
1/2 teaspoon celery salt
Dash each pepper, paprika, and nutmeg
4 cups ground, cooked turkey
3/4 cup fine bread crumbs
2 eggs mixed with water
Flour, for dredging

Directions

In a medium-size saucepan, melt butter. Blend in flour and add milk and chicken broth. Cook and stir until mixture thickens and bubbles, and continue cooking for 1 minute more.

Add lemon juice, snipped parsley, and onion. Stir in celery salt and a dash each of pepper, paprika, and nutmeg. Cool.

In a large mixing bowl, combine sauce with the ground turkey. Chill thoroughly. With wet hands, shape mixture into balls. Roll balls one at a time in bread crumbs.

Lightly shape balls into cones. For each croquette, dip it into the mixture of egg and water, then roll in bread crumbs. Again, dip croquette in egg/flour and roll in bread crumbs. Fry croquettes in deep-fat fryer for approximately 3 minutes or until brown. Drain. Serve with turkey gravy.

awesome croquettes
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

These croquettes were great! I made it with ground Chicken and added minced celery and a little Poultry Seasoning....just... heated up some jarred gravy.....I cooked the first batch way too much...but they turned out to be the best ones!! The crust was crunchy and had tons of flavor!! I froze a few for another whole meal.Read more

Not easy - and NOT good
Rated: 1 stars out of 5

The directions are confusing - especially the last paragraph. My husband even tried to help me figure if out and try it a... second time, because our dinner was ruined the first time. Uggh! It also is NOT flavorful. So disappointed in this one. We will NEVER make it again.Read more

Yummy but a little bland
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

I made these after Thanksgiving and while I thought they were a little bland, it was nothing a little salt and pepper... couldn't cure. I found that the amount of egg wasn't enough and had to use two more. I also tried to cheat and not wait for the Turkey mixture to cool since I can be impatient, but found out the hard way, that wasn't going to work. I suggest using seasoned breadcrumbs also to help with the flavor. I ran out of breadcrumbs mid-way through the process and ground up cornflakes in the food processor which worked well also. All in all a great way to use those leftovers.Read more

Turkey Croquettes
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

Very good. Watch out...these can be very bland if you go by the recipe. I added about 4 more dashes of the spices along with... sea salt to taste and cayenne pepper which gave it a kick. We also made them patty shaped. By doing this, we thought we could pan fry them. Nope...definitely deep fry these guys.Read more

Thank-you for this recipe
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

My mother always made croquettes after Thanksgiving when I was a kid and I haven't had them for 20 years. I've wanted to... make them and had no idea how. When I saw your recipe I was so excited. I tried it and it was easy and just as delicious as I remembered. My family loved them and they are a hard sell when it comes to Turkey. I've e-mailed this recipe to all my sisters, and I'll keep it forever.Read more
