Turkey Croquettes #ThanksgivingLeftovers

Turkey Croquettes uses leftovers to create an exciting new dish! Moist not greasy with chunks of turkey.

Thanksgiving leftovers can be a challenge to serve. How many times do you want to do Thanksgiving dinner? Good thing the major cooking and clean up is done.
Now about those leftovers…
This dilemma is fairly common. So a few of my food blogging friends got together to kick around some recipe ideas for you. (And me too.) Thanks Camilla from Culinary Adventures with Camilla and Ellen from Family Around the Table for hosting this event!

For this event, I decided to make Turkey Croquettes. Leftover mashed potatoes never tasted so good!

Turkey Croquettes
Add chopped turkey, sauteed celery and onion to the patties. Dredge in flour, egg and seasoned breadcrumbs and fry to brown. Finish in the oven and serve with country gravy. Awesome!
Confession time. I make this with fresh ingredients too. It’s that good.
