TURKEY CROQUETTES WITH CREAM SAUCE



Turkey Croquettes With Cream Sauce image

This is basically my dad's recipe, which I quantified with exact measurements, and the addition of a few seasonings that I like. It's a great way to use up turkey leftovers in a more sophisticated dish. I mince the turkey meat in my food processor first, then measure out the amount required.

Categories     Poultry

Time 1h10m

Yield 12 croquettes

Number Of Ingredients 16

3/4 cup butter
1 cup flour
1 cup milk
2 cups chicken broth
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 teaspoon sea salt
2 teaspoons lemon juice
4 cups turkey, minced
2 tablespoons onions, grated
1/2 teaspoon poultry seasoning
1 teaspoon italian seasoning
1/4 teaspoon hot sauce
1 egg
1 cup breadcrumbs
16 ounces frozen sweet peas

Steps:

  • In large saucepan,melt butter. Whisk in flour; add milk and broth slowly and whisk to avoid lumps. Add nutmeg, black pepper, sea salt, and lemon juice. Thicken this cream sauce over low heat, then remove from heat to cool.
  • In a large bowl, combine the minced turkey with 1 cup of the cooled cream sauce, grated onion, poultry seasoning, italian seasoning, and hot sauce. The mixture should just hold together. Add salt and pepper to taste and chill 15 minutes.
  • While turkey is chilling, add thawed package of peas to the rest of the cream sauce. Cover and simmer on very low heat.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • With wet hands form the individual croquettes. I use a 1/4 cup scoop per croquette. Form a ballish shape; roll lightly in flour, then in beaten egg (with just a little water) and roll in breadcrumbs. Form the shape of a large gumdrop or "haystack" and place on a cookie sheet coated with non-stick spray.
  • Bake croquettes in middle rack of the oven approximately 25 minutes. Serve hot with cream sauce on top (about 2-3 per person) and a dash of paprika.
  • NOTE: Extra peas and cream sauce can be used as an elegant vegetable dish the next day by adding cooked baby carrots and pearl onions.

TURKEY MUSHROOM GRAVY



Turkey Mushroom Gravy image

Categories     Side Dish     Sauces and Condiments Recipes     Gravy Recipes     Turkey Gravy Recipes

Time 2h30m

Yield 20

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 cups unsalted butter
1 pound portobello mushrooms, wiped clean with paper towels
2 pounds whole white mushrooms, wiped clean with paper towels
1 cup all-purpose flour
4 (14.5 ounce) cans chicken broth
1 ½ cups turkey pan drippings
2 cups chopped onions
1 cup chopped celery
salt and pepper to taste
¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper

Steps:

  • Melt butter in a large stock pot over medium-low heat, and cook the mushrooms until they are browned and the butter is clear, 1 to 1 1/2 hours. Remove the mushrooms, coarsely chop them, and set aside. There should be about 1 cup of butter left in the stock pot; whisk the flour into the butter, and gently cook over low heat until the flour mixture turns mahogany brown in color, about 20 minutes. Whisk in the chicken broth; bring the mixture to a simmer to thicken the stock.
  • Pour the turkey drippings into a saucepan, then cook and stir the onions and celery in the drippings over medium-low heat until the onions begin to turn brown, about 20 minutes. Stir the drippings and vegetables into the thickened stock. Bring the gravy to a gentle boil, reduce heat, and simmer for about 20 minutes to blend the flavors. Stir in the chopped mushrooms, then season to taste with salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper.
