Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Ground turkey
- 1 small Onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 large Egg
- 0.75 cup Breadcrumbs
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 3 tbsp Olive oil
- 2 tbsp Butter
- 8 oz Mushrooms, sliced
- 2 tbsp Flour
- 1.5 cups Chicken stock
- 0.5 cup Heavy cream
- 0.5 tsp Thyme, dried
- 2 tbsp Parmesan cheese, grated
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine ground turkey, finely chopped onion, minced garlic, fresh parsley, egg, breadcrumbs, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well incorporated.
Form the mixture into small round patties, about 2 inches in diameter and 1 inch thick. Set aside on a plate.
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the turkey croquettes in batches and cook for 5-6 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and keep warm.
In the same skillet, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 2 tablespoons of butter. Once melted, add the sliced mushrooms and sauté for 5 minutes, or until softened and golden.
Sprinkle the flour over the mushrooms and stir to coat evenly. Cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly, to remove the raw flour taste.
Slowly pour in the chicken stock, whisking continuously to prevent lumps. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the mixture begins to thicken.
Add the heavy cream, dried thyme, and grated Parmesan cheese to the sauce. Stir well and simmer for 2 minutes. Adjust seasoning with salt and black pepper as needed.
Return the turkey croquettes to the skillet, spooning some of the mushroom sauce over them. Simmer for 3-4 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Serve the turkey croquettes topped with the creamy mushroom sauce. Garnish with additional parsley if desired, and enjoy!
