I rarely deep fry anything, but these potato and turkey croquettes most definitely can’t be baked, and let me tell you that they’re worth every extra calorie. The whole family loved them and kept asking for more. Bonus: they can be made completely out of leftovers.

Cooking Instructions
1.
Season Mashed Potatoes (3 cups) with Salt (to taste) and Ground Black Pepper (to taste) then put them in the fridge. It’s much easier to shape it when it’s cold.
2.
Sauté Onion (1) in one tablespoon of Canola Oil (as needed) until translucent. Add Garlic (1 clove) and sauté until fragrant.
3.
Add Ground Turkey (8 oz), Salt (to taste), Ground Black Pepper (to taste), and Soy Sauce (to taste). You can use any herb or sauce you like to flavor the turkey. If you use a sauce like gravy, just put enough to give flavor without making the mixture soggy.
4.
Keep mixing and breaking up the meat until browned and cooked through.
5.
Prepare your workstation; three bowls, one with All-Purpose Flour (3/4 cup), the second with Eggs (2), and the third with Breadcrumbs (2 cups).
6.
Dust your hands with flour and make a golf-sized ball of mashed potato mixture. Flatten it into a circle and put a small amount of turkey in the middle. Don’t overfill. Carefully close it into a ball by pinching edges together.
7.
Dip croquette into flour.
8.
Then into egg.
9.
Then roll in breadcrumbs.
10.
Repeat the last two steps by dipping again into the egg and then breadcrumbs. Chill in the fridge for 30 minutes or freeze at this point if you want to keep it for later.
11.
Deep fry over medium-high heat until golden brown. Serve and enjoy!
