LEFTOVER TURKEY CROQUETTES

Leftover Turkey Croquettes image

I grew up with a family that looked forward to leftovers, especially the day after Thanksgiving. But we didn't just reheat turkey and spuds in the microwave-we took our culinary creativity to a new level with recipes likes these croquettes. Serve three per plate along with a crisp green salad for an unforgettable meal. -Meredith Coe, Charlottesville, Virginia

Ingredients

1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed cream of chicken soup
1 ½ cups finely chopped, cooked chicken meat
¼ cup Italian-style dry bread crumbs
2 tablespoons minced celery
1 tablespoon minced onion
¼ teaspoon poultry seasoning

Combine 1/3 cup of the soup, chicken, bread crumbs, celery, onion and 1/4 teaspoon poultry seasoning. Mix well and shape into 6 croquettes (I make patties). Chill in refrigerator for about 1 hour.
Remove croquettes from refrigerator and roll in additional bread crumbs. In a large skillet, melt 1 to 2 tablespoons shortening. Brown the croquettes in the shortening. Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, combine the remaining soup, milk and 1/8 teaspoon poultry seasoning. Heat over low, stirring occasionally. Serve sauce over croquettes.
