@@vintagerecipehero The idea was to save it for turkey tetrazzini. I just am not good about using things once they’re in the freezer. I do actually use some fresh, mostly for sandwiches. A good way to use it is to make like a turkey salad, with mayo and whatever else you like such as celery, spices. Then roll out a large sheet of crescent roll dough. Put the turkey salad down the center, and fold it up like a large package. Seem side down, and make slits on the top. Brush the top with an egg wash. Bake in oven.
Marguerite Patton is great! I have one of her wartime ration cookbooks. I'll have to try these croquettes with leftover chicken, which I always have on hand. Thanks for sharing the recipe!
Do you use your leftover turkey for:
a) soup
b) sandwiches
c) casserole
d) other
I shred it, put it in my freezer, and throw it away next year.
@marcilk7534 OH no 🤣 I swear these are easy enough to make if you want to try this instead this year hahahaha 💖

@marcilk7534 That sounds delicious!!!! I think I'll try that with a rotisserie chicken!
@@vintagerecipehero it’s excellent with chicken too, also tuna.
Makes me want to eat turkey again ... yummy!
You can even make them with rotisserie chicken!

That book sounds so interesting! This recipe is definitely leftover/pantry friendly and we LOVED it! Let me know how it is with chicken 😁
What a great idea I make salmon croquettes often never thought about using leftover turkey or chicken❤
Yum, salmon sounds so good too, especially with some fresh dill in there 😋
