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:
- Choose high-quality ground turkey: Look for ground turkey that is fresh and has a lean-to-fat ratio of 80/20 or 90/10. This will ensure that the croquettes are moist and flavorful.
- Use a variety of seasonings: Don't be afraid to experiment with different herbs and spices to flavor your croquettes. Some popular options include garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, thyme, and oregano.
- Don't overmix the turkey mixture: Overmixing can make the croquettes tough, so be sure to mix the ingredients just until they are combined.
- Form the croquettes into uniform shapes: This will help them cook evenly. Aim for croquettes that are about 1-inch in diameter and 2-inches long.
- Use a cooking spray: This will help the croquettes crisp up nicely in the air fryer. You can also use a light coating of olive oil.
- Preheat the air fryer: This will help the croquettes cook evenly. Most air fryers recommend preheating to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Cook the croquettes in batches: Don't overcrowd the air fryer basket, or the croquettes won't cook evenly. Cook the croquettes in batches of 6-8 at a time.
Conclusion:
Air fryer turkey croquettes are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or main course. They are perfect for parties, potlucks, or weeknight dinners. With a little creativity, you can easily customize the croquettes to your own liking. So next time you're looking for a quick and tasty meal, give these air fryer turkey croquettes a try!
