Prepare the Mixture<\/h3>\n<ol>\n<li>In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped smoked turkey and mashed potatoes.<\/li>\n<li>Add the Parmesan cheese, flour, parsley, green onions, garlic, and beaten eggs.<\/li>\n<li>Season the mixture with salt and pepper to taste.<\/li>\n<li>Mix all the ingredients until you have a consistent, well-combined mixture. This will serve as your croquette base.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h3>2. Form the Croquettes<\/h3>\n<ol>\n<li>Start by scooping about 2 tablespoons of the mixture and shape it into a small ball or oval using your hands. Repeat this process until all the mixture is used, making sure each croquette is roughly the same size for even cooking.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h3>3. Coat with Bread Crumbs<\/h3>\n<ol>\n<li>Place the bread crumbs in a shallow dish.<\/li>\n<li>Roll each croquette in the bread crumbs, ensuring all sides are coated evenly. This will give them that delightful crispy exterior.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h3>4. Fry the Croquettes<\/h3>\n<ol>\n<li>In a large frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. You&#8217;ll want around 1\/4 inch of oil in the pan.<\/li>\n<li>Carefully place the croquettes in the hot oil, ensuring you don&#8217;t overcrowd the pan.<\/li>\n<li>Fry each side until golden brown and crispy, approximately 3-4 minutes per side.<\/li>\n<li>Once cooked, transfer the croquettes to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h3>5. Serve and Enjoy<\/h3>\n<ol>\n<li>Serve the smoked turkey croquettes hot with your choice of dipping sauce, such as aioli, cranberry sauce, or honey mustard.<\/li>\n<li>These croquettes are perfect as an appetizer, side dish, or main course!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2>Nutrition Information<\/h2>\n<p>Each portion (2 croquettes) contains approximately:<br \/>\n&#8211; Calories: 255 kcal<\/p>\n<h2>Preparation Time<\/h2>\n<p>Total preparation time is around 45 minutes:<br \/>\n&#8211; 20 minutes for preparation<br \/>\n&#8211; 25 minutes for cooking<\/p>\n<p>Enjoy these delectable smoked turkey croquettes as a versatile addition to your meal plans.
