Here are two recipes, I made the second, should have added poultry seasoning ...
Don Ingredients: list of 13 items . 1 tablespoon butter . 1 small onion, finely chopped . Salt . Freshly ground black pepper . Grinding of fresh nutmeg . 1-1/2 cups mashed sweet potato or white potato (see Note) . 1 egg yolk . 1 tablespoon milk or heavy cream . 1/2 cup diced cooked turkey (or chicken, ham, duck, or goose) . 1 cup flour (about) . 1 cup bread crumbs (about) . 2 eggs . Peanut oil list end Preparation: 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. 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 2-1/2 inches up the side. Heat the oil to 375 degrees F. (If you don't have a thermometer, simply add a tiny bit of bread crumbs or flour to the fat, and when it's ready it will sizzle vigorously.) 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. Yield: About 12-14 croquettes Note: You can use leftover mashed potatoes or simply take a boiled or baked potato and mash it until somewhat smooth.
