Sweet Potato and Turkey Croquettes




Source of Recipe


the web


List of Ingredients




1 Tablespoon butter
1 small onion, finely chopped
Salt
Ground Black Pepper
Fresh nutmeg
1 1/2 cups mashed sweet potato or white potato*
1 egg yolk
1 Tablespoon milk or heavy cream
1/2 cup diced cooked turkey (or ham, duck or goose)
1 cup flour
1 cup bread crumbs
2 eggs
Peanut Oil

Recipe



In a large skillet, melt the butter over moderate heat. Saute the onion with a sprinkling of salt, pepper, and nutmeg for about 5 minutes, or until softened but not brown.

Place onion in a large bowl. Add the mashed potatoes, egg yolk, milk, and turkey and mix together. Season generously with salt, pepper, and nutmeg.

*You can use leftover mashed potatoes or simply take a boiled or baked potato and mash it until somewhat smooth.

Cover and refrigerate the potato mixture for several hours, or overnight, until well chilled.

Place the flour on a large plate. Place the bread crumbs on another plate. Whisk the eggs in a bowl and season with salt and pepper.

To form the croquettes, take about a tablespoon of mixture in your hands and form into a ball. Roll the ball in the flour; remove and shake off excess. Dip into the egg and coat thoroughly, and then coat in the bread crumbs.

Place the prepared croquettes on a large plate while you heat the oil. Add enough peanut oil to a large skillet or deep-fat fryer to come 2-½ inches up the side. Heat the oil to 375? degrees F.

Fry the croquettes about 2 to 3 minutes, or until golden brown. (Be careful not to crowd the skillet.)

Remove and drain on paper towels and serve immediately.
