This is a tasty recipe for turkey croquettes, and it’s a great way to use leftover turkey from Thanksgiving.

Make the white sauce first. Melt butter in medium saucepan. Stir in flour, salt and pepper. Cook over medium heat until smooth and well-combined. Pour in milk and stir with whisk until thick. Allow time for sauce to cool.

Add white sauce to turkey and chopped onion. Add more salt and pepper to taste. Note: You may not need a full cup of white sauce. Make sure mixture isn’t too wet so they can be shaped. Shape turkey mixture into about a 3-inch pyramid. Roll in flour, then beaten egg plus a little water, then breadcrumbs. Put them on waxed paper to set up for about 30 minutes before deep frying. Heat oil and deep fry until golden brown. Serve with mashed potatoes and leftover gravy.

This recipe is a little bit of work, but well worth the effort!
