Leftover Turkey and Mashed Potato Patties

Submitted by Queen Dana

"My mom usually bought a whole bird for Thanksgiving dinner but no one but Grandma would eat anything other than the breast resulting in a lot of leftover dark turkey meat. If your family is the same way this is a great way to get rid of that left over turkey. You can use chicken and fish instead of turkey."

This was an interesting and tasty recipe:) I liked the turmeric flavor and the color it gave the patties. These would be good with gravy I think, or just ketchup too, thanks! Made for Spring PAC 2009.
