    Basic White Sauce Recipe

    1 cup of milk
    2 tbsp. of butter
    2 tbsp. all purpose flour
    salt to taste

    Recipe



    Prepare the white sauce and let it cool to room temperature. Place turkey and ham in a large bowl. Add egg, nutmeg, 1/2 cup of Parmesan cheese, white sauce and salt and pepper. Mix thoroughly. Combine the remaining 1/4 cup of Parmesan cheese and the bread crumbs in a small bowl. Spread on a sheet of aluminum foil. Take a generous tablespoon of turkey mixture and form a small sausage. Roll in breadcrumb mixture to coat. Press crumbs lightly onto croquette. Repeat until all the turkey/ham mixture is used up. Pour oil 1” deep into a large skillet. Heat oil until a 1” cube of bread turns golden brown almost immediately. Using a slotted spoon, lower a few croquettes at a time into the hot oil. Turn croquettes, and when then are golden on all sides, remove from the oil with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Serve immediately. Makes 6 servings.

    Basic White Sauce Recipe


    Melt butter in a small saucepan. Stir in flour to make a smooth paste. Gradually add milk and stir until thickened. Add salt to taste.
