Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Baked Turkey Croquettes.
Step 1
Start by blending the bread slices until they transform into soft crumbs, then transfer these breadcrumbs to a shallow bowl and set them aside.
Step 2
In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat, then stir in the flour until it’s fully combined.
Step 3
Gradually whisk in the milk and chicken broth, stirring continuously until the mixture thickens, which should take about five minutes.
Step 4
Once thickened, remove the saucepan from heat and let it cool.
Step 5
After cooling, fold in the diced turkey, parsley, rosemary, salt, and pepper, mixing until everything is harmoniously blended.
Step 6
Shape the turkey mixture into small balls and arrange them on a plate, then refrigerate for at least three hours to allow them to firm up.
Step 7
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Step 8
Dip each ball into the beaten egg, letting any excess drip off, then roll them in the breadcrumbs until they are completely coated.
Step 9
Place the coated croquettes on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until they are perfectly cooked through and beautifully golden brown.
Step 10
Enjoy the delightful crunch and savory flavors of these turkey croquettes, perfect for any occasion!.
