| This is without a doubt one of my all time favourite recipes that me mum used to make at Christmas. |
| They were creamy & crunchy and tasted of Christmas dinner and reminded me of Spain . . . . sooo goood! |
| . . . . and they used up the lefovers! |
| Stuffing, bacon - probably some pigs in blankets - leeks & onions, some gravy & egg yolks to thicken it - a smooth bechamel vibe to set the croquettes in. (1 egg yolk per 100g of turkey gravy) |

| Use any turkey meat you want, I like a 50/50 dark / light meat mix, mum always went 100% turkey breast. |
| Blend it in a food processor to bread crumb texture. |
| Or chop it up fine - can't get more rustic than this anyway!!! : ) |
| Fine dice the leeks and onions, and sweat them down in an oil glazed sauce pan until soft and translucent. |
| Add the gravy, stuffing, & bacon/sausage bits and stir into a homogenous gloop! |
| Season it w/ salt & black pepper then add the egg yolks to o thicken it and give it that smooth bechamel texture. |
| Stir with a wooden spoon until it stops thickening then opur it out into a baking tray. |
| Cover it w/ some baking paper or cling film and leave it to set in the fridge for about an hour. |
| Toast the mutligrain bread and blend it to bread crumbs. |
| Make an egg was from the eggs & milk. |
| Table spoon out croquette sized scoops of mix into the flour, rolle them, coat them in egg wash and then breadbrumbs, shallow fry, making sure to turn them to make them gold all over. |
| Remove with a slotted spoon to a sieve, and then to some kitchen towel to remove excess oil. |
| Keep warm and serve asap! Nice w/ cranberry sauce . . . . . |
