Time 1h5m

Yield 5-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 19

1 lb ground turkey or 1 lb ground chicken
1 cup beans, puree (this could be made from any canned bean to suit your taste, refried beans work well)
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon salt
1/3 teaspoon pepper
1 medium onion, minced fine
1 garlic clove, minced fine
1/2 cup parsley, minced
1/4 cup sage, minced (or 1 tsp dried, crumbled)
1/2 cup buttermilk
1 egg
2/3 cup flour
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 lb button mushroom, thinly sliced
2 garlic cloves, minced
12 ounces half-and-half cream
1/4 cup parsley, minced
buttered rice or noodles

Steps:

  • For croquettes: In a large bowl, add all of croquette ingredients and combine to distribute ingredients thoroughly; refrigerate for 30 minutes (or longer) before using.
  • Heat 2 tblsps olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
  • Using a tablespoon (dipped in water), scoop out rounded spoonfuls of the croquette mixture and, using another spoon, push the mixture into the hot skillet; continue until you have filled the skillet with turkey croquettes; fry croquettes 5-6 minutes per side, until dark golden-brown; you may need to reduce heat slightly; remove as they are done to a glass baking dish; you will need to fry up in about 2 batches (maybe just into a third, depending on how big your skillet is); keep croquettes warm in a preheated oven while you make up the sauce.
  • For creamy-mushroom sauce: Increase heat under skillet used for cooking croquettes (do not clean it out in any way!) to medium-high and add the sliced mushrooms (do no add any more fat); allow the mushrooms to release some of their liquid and stir up tasty browned bits that are left in the pan from cooking the croquettes; add garlic and sauté mushrooms, stirring occasionally, until all the liquid they have let off has evaporated, about 9-10 minutes; add cream and cook until cream has thickened, about 10 minutes; pour sauce over turkey croquettes, sprinkle with minced fresh parsley and serve with hot buttered rice or noodles; this will make just enough sauce to coat croquettes; if you like loads of sauce, use more mushrooms and cream.

These croquettes were delicious, but they were a bit too rich for me. I think I'll try a lighter sauce next time.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my croquettes turned out dry and crumbly. Maybe I didn't add enough milk to the sauce.

These croquettes were a bit bland for my taste. I think I'll add some more herbs and spices next time.
