Leftover Turkey Croquettes
The holidays leave you so many leftovers and most of the time you have no idea what to do with them! I have made a quick and easy recipe to make croquettes with your leftovers!
There was so much food Thursday that I feel like I stuffed myself for the next like 90 days!
I had a lot of leftovers, so on stream we decided to use them and make a ton of leftover dishes!
One of my favorite ones was an amazing baked croquette!
I had never heard of croquettes when I was younger, if I would have known that you could have a breaded potato meal, I would have died and gone to heaven.
Seriously.
It is not that hard either, which is amazing, especially if you have spent days cooking for your friends and family for the holidays!
