Turkey Croquettes

TaterFan's Note:

A perfect alternative to turkey tetrazzini for Thanksgiving leftovers. Your leftover mashed potatoes won't go to waste either!

I love croquettes and was hoping this would be a treat I could share with my family. I am sorry to say I did not like it at all.

Very good. I baked them without gravy, and added the gravy afterward. Next time I am going to bake them with the gravy.
