The croquettes were so simple. All I did was put 3 1/2 cups of leftover stuffing, one egg and 1 cup of leftover turkey in the food processor and then pulsed it until it was almost a paste. Then I shaped it into patties, rolled them in Italian flavored breadcrumbs and browned them in a skillet with some oil. (I tried making the traditional croquette shape, but it just didn't fry up very well. And I was worried the egg didn't get heated enough.) I reheated the leftover gravy, poured it on top and served with leftover carrots and corn.
I didn't include a picture of it on a plate with gravy. It just didn't look very appetizing at all.
My post-Thanksgiving favorite are mini turkey sandwiches. It's just a dinner roll--potato in this case--lots of Hellmann's mayo, a couple pieces of turkey breast, a slice of jellied cranberry sauce (because no one in the two families will eat homemade, of course), and some salt and pepper. I used to eat three of these at a time before my weight loss surgery. Nowadays, this one sandwich fills me. Actually, I usually can't eat the last bite.
Looks big, but I put it on a small salad plate.
Even after the croquettes, a few lunches, and several turkey sandwiches, though, I still have a lot of stuffing and turkey left. I decided to freeze it all. Maybe I'll make hot open turkey sandwiches or bake chicken breasts with the stuffing.
