have T-Day leftovers...this is great recipe that uses many of those things that were on the menu. I fixed this today and it was delicious! I made a 7# chicken for just the 2 of us so I used chicken in it instead of turkey. I cut it in half and made it into burger size with roasted butternut squash and salad. This is an excellent way of using up leftovers and not even resemble leftovers! I followed the recipe exactly and it is extremely flavorful. The only thing I would do differently next time is dice up the turkey (chicken) in very small dice and fold it into the mixture at the end for a bit more texture to it. Great recipe!
Turkey Croquettes with Mushroom-Rosemary Gravy
Recipe courtesy Rachael Ray
1 clove garlic, cracked from skin
1/2 small onion
1 rib celery, chopped
1/4 small red bell pepper, chopped
1 cup cooked, chopped turkey meat, white and dark
1 cup leftover mashed potatoes
1 egg
Salt and pepper
2 teaspoons poultry seasoning
Few sprigs parsley, leaves only
1 cup Italian bread crumbs
3 tablespoons butter
4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
12 cremini mushrooms, thinly sliced
3 to 4 sprigs fresh rosemary, finely chopped
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
3 cups chicken stock
1/2 cup grated Romano, a couple of handfuls
Place the garlic, onion, celery and red bell pepper in food processor and pulse to fine chop. Add turkey, potatoes, egg, salt, pepper, poultry seasoning, and parsley leaves then pulse to process and combine the mixture. Remove bowl from base and blade from the bowl. In a medium mixing bowl combine the turkey mixture with 3/4 cup bread crumbs.
Heat a small skillet over medium heat with 2 tablespoons butter and 1 tablespoon oil. When butter melts add the mushrooms and cook until dark and tender, 5 to 6 minutes. Season the mushrooms with salt and pepper and add rosemary to the pan. Sprinkle the flour over the mushrooms and cook a minute. Whisk in the stock, bring to a bubble and thicken, 5 minutes, over medium-low heat.
Preheat a nonstick skillet with 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil over medium heat.
Use a conical or round ice cream scoop to form 8 croquettes. Combine cheese and remaining 1/4 cup of bread crumbs on a plate. Coat the croquettes in cheese and bread crumbs and saute in hot oil until deeply golden all over, 5 to 6 minutes for each batch. Remove and drain on paper towels. Serve the croquettes with rosemary gravy poured down over them.
Yield: 8 servings
