Time 1h30m

Yield about 18 croquettes

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 small leek, white and light green part thinly sliced
1 tablespoon chopped fresh sage (about 4 leaves), plus 6 whole leaves, for serving
1/2 cup plus 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
3/4 cup whole milk
3/4 cup finely diced roasted turkey (white and/or dark meat)
1/2 cup mashed potatoes
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
3/4 cup panko breadcrumbs
Canola oil, for deep-frying
Cranberry sauce and turkey gravy, for serving

Steps:

  • Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the leek and cook until tender and translucent, 2 to 4 minutes. Stir in the chopped sage and 3 tablespoons of the flour, then continue to cook until the flour is completely absorbed into the butter mixture and lightly toasted, 1 to 2 minutes. While continually stirring, gradually pour in the milk and continue to cook until a thick bechamel forms, about 1 minute more. Remove from the heat, then stir in the turkey, mashed potatoes, a pinch of salt and several grinds of black pepper. Taste and adjust the seasoning with more salt and pepper. Transfer to a bowl and refrigerate until completely cool, about 30 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, set up a 3-stage breading station by placing the remaining 1/2 cup flour in a shallow bowl or baking dish, the eggs in a separate shallow bowl or baking dish and finally the panko in a third shallow bowl or baking dish. Season each with a pinch of salt and pepper. Using a 3/4-ounce cookie scoop, divide the chilled filling into about 18 pieces. Roll into uniform balls and/or 2 1/2-inch-long batons. Coat each piece in the flour, shaking the excess off, then dip in the egg to coat. Finally, dip and press into the panko, turning until evenly coated.
  • Fill a large, heavy-bottomed pot with enough oil to go 2 inches up the sides and insert a deep-frying thermometer. Set the oil over medium-high heat and bring to 350 degrees F. Working in 2 batches, deep-fry the croquettes until deep golden brown and heated through, about 2 minutes. Drain on a paper towel-lined plate and season with a pinch of salt. Fry the whole sage leaves until crisp, about 1 minute. Drain on the paper towel line plate as well. Serve with cranberry sauce and turkey gravy for dipping.

Yield Makes 20

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 1/2 ounces (3 tablespoons) unsalted butter
1 medium onion, minced
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
1 1/2 teaspoons minced fresh sage
1 1/2 teaspoons minced fresh savory or thyme
2 cups finely chopped cooked turkey
1/4 cup heavy cream
1 cup mashed potatoes
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 large egg, lightly beaten
1 1/2 cups finely ground fresh breadcrumbs
Vegetable oil, for frying
Cranberry sauce, for serving

Steps:

  • Melt butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion, 1 teaspoons salt, and teaspoon pepper. Cook for 3 minutes. Stir in sage and savory or thyme, and cook for 1 minute. Stir in turkey and cream, and cook until liquid evaporates, about 1 minute. Transfer to a large bowl, and let cool for 15 minutes.
  • Add potatoes, flour, and egg to turkey, and season with salt and pepper.
  • Drop 2 tablespoons turkey mixture into a shallow bowl of breadcrumbs, turn to coat, and pat into 2-inch disks. Arrange in a single layer on a baking sheet, and refrigerate for 10 minutes.
  • Heat 1/4 inch oil in a skillet over medium heat. Working in batches, cook croquettes in a single layer until golden brown, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer to paper towels to drain. Serve immediately with cranberry sauce.

Tips:

  • For the best results, use freshly mashed potatoes. Leftover mashed potatoes can be used, but they may not be as creamy or flavorful.
  • Be sure to season the mashed potatoes well. This will help to flavor the croquettes and prevent them from being bland.
  • If you don't have any fresh cranberries, you can use frozen or dried cranberries. Just be sure to thaw them before using.
  • The cranberry mayo is a great way to add a pop of flavor to the croquettes. You can also use your favorite dipping sauce.
  • These croquettes can be made ahead of time and reheated in the oven or air fryer.

Conclusion:

Mashed potato croquettes are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or side dish. They are perfect for any occasion, from a casual get-together to a formal dinner party. With their crispy exterior and creamy interior, these croquettes are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
