Leftover Turkey Recipes: Turkey Croquettes
These turkey croquettes are a delicious way to reboot leftover Thanksgiving turkey. I served them with an Avocado dipping sauce (homemade guacamole) and sauteed Asparagus. They make a great meal or snack and will keep well in the refrigerator for a few days– if they last long enough that is!
Ingredients
2lbs or 4 cups leftover cooked turkey finely chopped
3 Serrano peppers deseeded and finely chopped
1 cup chopped scallions
3 tablespoons fresh cilantro roughly chopped
3 cloves garlic minced
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1/4 cup Panko breadcrumbs (substitute brown rice flour or gluten free Panko crumbs to make gluten free croquettes)
4 large organic eggs
3/4 teaspoon cumin powder
3/4 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Extra virgin olive oil
Directions
Mix together all ingredients except for olive oil and form into 2.5 inch round patties. Brown both sides of patty in pre-heated olive oil until golden brown in color (about 1 1/2 – 2 minutes per side on medium low heat) then transfer to paper towel lined tray). Serve with your favorite veggie. Enjoy!
