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.

I love turkey croquettes. For the fail attemptees, try chilling the mixture overnight in the fridge. I use Panko bread crumbs for a second dredge. Great with mustard as well. I use 2 parts dark meat and 4 parts white meat.

I don't know what the other people were talking about!!!! I am an excellent cook and have made these with other recipes for years. I found this recipe to be very easy to read and follow. Maybe they didn't follow the process correctly. I did add some chopped celery and onion to my turkey and a few other spices. I have now saved this recipe and will definitely use it again.

I followed the recipe to the letter and when I got to the part where I add the cream sauce to the turkey, I realized that it was way too much sauce for the ground meat. I held back a whole cup but it was still too soft to form patties. The taste was good but too soft to fry up into a pattie!
