Transform Your Thanksgiving Extras Into Something New – It’s Like Thanksgiving All Over Again!

Transform Your Thanksgiving Extras Into Something New – It’s Like Thanksgiving All Over Again!

Croquettes are a perfect way to use up any holiday leftovers you may have in your fridge. Follow this recipe from, Chef Seamus Mullen of New York's Tertulia, to change the way you think about leftovers.

What You Will Need:

•2 to 2 1/2 cups bread crumbs

•1 large egg

•2 tablespoons water

•2 cups mashed potatoes

•2 cups stuffing

•2 cups chopped cooked turkey or rotisserie chicken

•4 to 6 tablespoons olive oil, as needed

How To Prepare:

  1. In a small sauté pan over moderate heat, toast the bread crumbs until golden and crunchy, 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer to a small bowl and let cool.
  2. In a small bowl, beat together the egg and water.
  3. In a large bowl, combine the mashed potatoes, stuffing, and turkey. Using your hands or a spoon, shape the mixture into 2-inch-long, oblong-shaped croquettes (you should have about 24 croquettes) and transfer to a large rimmed baking sheet.
  4. Working with 1 croquette at a time, dredge them in the egg-water mixture, letting the excess drip off, then dredge them in the bread crumbs, and return them to the rimmed baking sheet.
  5. In a large skillet, over moderately high heat, warm 2 tablespoons of the oil. Working in batches, pan-fry the croquettes, turning them occasionally, until crispy on all sides, 5 to 6 minutes total. Repeat with the remaining croquettes, wiping the pan clean and adding 2 tablespoons of the oil to the pan between batches.

Finished!

Serve hot with cranberry sauce and/or warm gravy. Note: Don't limit this recipe to the holiday season. Croquettes are pretty much appropriate any time of the year.
