The FASTEST Turkey Croquette Recipe

NO more soups, NO more sandwiches, NO more casseroles ... try this SIMPLER recipe instead! Turkey croquettes are a deliciously retro way to use up leftover turkey and do a pantry clean-out! These turkey croquettes are made entirely from pantry and leftover items, and best of all they are QUICK to make! You can use up your leftover turkey with this recipe in 30 minutes! I found them extremely filling, but that didn't stop me from eating two of the four before dinnertime. If you don't have leftover turkey, you could also use leftover roast chicken, or even pork (so says my fiancé...) In our household, anything and everything tastes great in white sauce!
