This is a great recipe to use up leftover turkey or chicken. It does not taste anything like leftovers. You’ll definitely need to double or triple recipe for large groups as I can eat 2 croquettes easily!
Ingredients
- 2 slices bread, or more as needed
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- ½ cup milk
- ½ cup chicken broth
- 2 cups diced cooked turkey
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
- ¼ teaspoon dried rosemary
- salt and ground black pepper to taste
- 1 egg, beaten
Directions
Step 1
Place bread in a blender and blend until soft crumbs form. Place bread crumbs in a shallow bowl.
Step 2
Heat butter in a saucepan over medium heat until melted. Stir flour into melted butter until dissolved. Mix milk and broth into butter-flour mixture; cook and stir until mixture is thick, about 5 minutes. Remove saucepan from heat and cool mixture.
Step 3
Mix turkey, parsley, rosemary, salt, and pepper into cooled mixture. Form turkey mixture into balls. Place balls on a plate and refrigerate until chilled, at least 3 hours.
Step 4
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Step 5
Dip balls in the beaten egg, allowing excess to drip back into bowl. Press balls into bread crumbs until coated. Arrange balls on a baking sheet.
Step 6
Bake in the preheated oven until cooked through and browned, 25 to 30 minutes.
Cook’s Notes:
Chicken can be substituted for the turkey and dried parley can be substituted for the fresh.
