What\u2019s not to love, right?<\/p>\n<p>Croquettes take many forms, but no matter the style, they\u2019re bound to be delicious. In Spain or South America, you might see croquettes made with chicken, cod or other proteins. Other popular fillings for croquettes made around the world can include beef, pork, shrimp or sausage.<\/p>\n<p>Our turkey croquette recipe takes the best of Thanksgiving leftovers and turns them into a delicious handheld snack. And in our version, we skip the deep fryer and opt for the handy air fryer to deliver perfectly golden croquettes.<\/p>\n<h2>Ingredients for Turkey Croquettes<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Mashed potatoes<\/strong>: The best potatoes to use for this recipe are ones already cooked, buttered, seasoned and cooled (try our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/oh-so-good-creamy-mashed-potatoes\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/oh-so-good-creamy-mashed-potatoes\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">creamy mashed potatoes<\/a>).

If you\u2019re grating the cheeses yourself, use the finest holes for the Parmesan.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Herbs<\/strong>: Either fresh or dried herbs will work in this recipe. We call for rosemary and sage, but you can add others seasonal herbs like thyme or parsley.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Cooked turkey<\/strong>: Our turkey croquettes recipe calls for a combination of white and dark meat chopped into small pieces. You can pulse the meat a few times in the food processor to get a smoother texture, but you don\u2019t want a paste.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Bread crumbs<\/strong>: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/what-is-panko\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/what-is-panko\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">Panko bread crumbs<\/a> add that great crunch factor you want in a croquette.

In a large bowl, combine the mashed potatoes, cheeses, shallot, rosemary, sage, salt and pepper. Next, stir in the turkey. Combine everything together lightly but thoroughly. Shape the mixture into twelve 1-inch-thick patties, and set aside.<\/p>\n<p><em>Editor&#8217;s Tip<\/em>: Put the shaped patties in the refrigerator for 30 minutes or more. This will help the croquettes retain their shape while cooking.<\/p>\n<h3>Step 2: Create your dipping station<\/h3>\n<p>In a shallow bowl, whisk together the egg and water. Place bread crumbs in another shallow bowl. Dip the croquettes in the egg mixture, then in the bread crumbs. Give each side a few pats to help the coating adhere.<\/p>\n<h3>Step 3: Air-fry the croquettes<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-1922796 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Air-fry-the-croquettes_FT23_246489_ST_0929_1-SS-Edit.jpg?fit=700%2C467\" alt=\"Air Fry The Croquettes Ft23 246489 St 0929 1\" width=\"700\" height=\"467\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Working in batches, place the croquettes in a single layer on the greased tray in your air-fryer basket, then spritz the croquettes with cooking spray. Cook until golden brown, four to five minutes. Flip the croquettes over, and spritz with cooking spray. Cook until golden brown, another four to five minutes. Serve turkey croquettes with sour cream or your favorite dipping sauce or gravy.<\/p>\n<h2>Recipe Variations<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Skip the air fryer<\/strong>: You can make our turkey croquette recipe in a deep fryer or electric skillet or on the stovetop. To make on the stovetop, follow the steps to prepare the croquettes. Then, in a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons butter over medium heat. Add half the croquettes, and cook four to five minutes per side or until browned. Remove the patties, and keep them warm while cooking the remaining croquettes. You can also bake them on a lined baking sheet in a 400\u00b0 oven for 10 to 15 minutes, until golden brown.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Use a different meat<\/strong>: Roasted or rotisserie chicken can easily work instead of turkey for these croquettes. You can also use ground turkey if you don\u2019t want to wait until you have Thanksgiving leftovers. Just cook the meat before mixing with the other ingredients.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Change the herbs<\/strong>: Our recipe calls for fresh or dried rosemary and sage, but you can also substitute in thyme and parsley, or a combination of all. You can add other savory spices, too, like onion powder or garlic powder.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>How to Store Turkey Croquettes<\/h2>\n<p>If you have leftovers, cool the croquettes completely, then store them in an airtight container for up to three days in the refrigerator.<\/p>\n<h2>How to Freeze Turkey Croquettes<\/h2>\n<p>Freeze cooled turkey croquettes in freezer-safe containers, separating layers with waxed paper. To reheat, put the croquettes (refrigerated or frozen) on a baking sheet, and bake in a preheated 325\u00b0 oven until heated through.<\/p>\n<h2>Turkey Croquettes Tips<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-1922797\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/FT23_246489_ST_0929_3-SS-Edit.jpg?fit=700%2C467\" alt=\"Ft23 246489 St 0929 3\" width=\"700\" height=\"467\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h3>How do you keep turkey croquettes from falling apart?<\/h3>\n<p>Chill the croquettes for at least 30 minutes before dipping and dredging in bread crumbs. That allows the mixture to firm up a bit, which will help them keep their shape while cooking.<\/p>\n<h3>What do you serve with turkey croquettes?<\/h3>\n<p>Since turkey croquettes are essentially Thanksgiving dinner in ball form, a few drizzles of gravy go well here.
