My Mom's Turkey Croquette Recipe

These are the turkey croquettes my Mom always made after we had a turkey dinner. They are cheese, onion, sage, and turkey all rolled into a golden fried croquette. Yum!
Ingredients:
4 cups shredded leftover turkey
1 stick (8 tbsp) butter
1 medium onion, diced
4 tbsp flour
2 cups milk
12 oz cheddar cheese, grated
salt, pepper, sage to taste
dried breadcrumbs and eggs for coating
vegetable oil for frying
melt butter in saucepan
add onions and saute until translucent
add flour and cook for 1 min.
gradually add in milk, stirring constantly
add cheese and allow mixture to thicken, stirring to prevent sticking on the bottom
add salt, pepper, and sage to taste
remove from heat and stir in turkey
chill until set enough to form a croquette
shape turkey mixture into desired size croquettes
roll in breadcrumbs, then egg, then back in breadcrumbs
fry in oil until golden brown, turning once if necessary
remove from oil and drain on paper towel

It's always nice to cut one open and see what's inside ... I guess that gives me a reason to try this out.

Hi and thanks for this great recipe! I just have a question about the milk: is it possible to replace it with the almond milk, cause I'm allergic to dairy products?

[@Mrsgooses]

I've never tried it with almond milk, but I don't see why that wouldn't work. It might just change the flavor slightly. If you try it, please let me know what you think :)

Sure, I will! Great you reminded me, cause I'm gonna do shopping for a good turkey breast at the end of this week:))
