30 Croquettes

Prep Time: 20 mins

Cook Time: 10 mins

Total Time: 30 mins

Ingredients:

3 1/2 cups leftover stuffing

1 large egg

3/4 cup all purpose flour

1/2 cup leftover turkey meat & gravy (finely chopped)

1 cup panko breadcrumbs (for rolling)

Directions:

Preheat a large pot of vegetable oil over medium heat until the temperature reaches 360ºF.

Into the bowl of a food processor, add the stuffing. Pulse until stuffing is broken and just shy of smooth. Add the egg, pulse until combined. Place stuffing into a large bowl and stir in the flour.

Using a large spoon, take a heaping spoonful of the stuffing. Using your thumb, make a deep well into the mixture, place a 2 teaspoons of the turkey gravy mixture in the center. Seal the turkey and gravy into the stuffing mixture. Form into a football shape, using the large spoon.

Into a baking dish, add the panko breadcrumbs, roll the formed croquettes in the breadcrumbs, shake off any excess and gently drop into the preheated oil. Deep fry for 5 minutes, until golden brown and crispy.

*NOTE the croquettes can be formed ahead of time and placed the refrigerator overnight loosely covered plastic wrap.
