Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Leftover turkey
- 2 cups Leftover mashed potatoes
- 1 large Egg
- 0.25 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.5 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons Green onions, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 0.5 cups Breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
Instructions
Finely chop the leftover turkey into small pieces and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the leftover mashed potatoes, chopped turkey, egg, flour, shredded cheddar cheese, green onions, salt, and black pepper. Stir until well combined.
Scoop out approximately 1/4 cup of the mixture and shape it into a flat patty. Repeat with the remaining mixture to form evenly sized patties.
Place the breadcrumbs in a shallow dish. Carefully coat each patty in the breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Cook the patties in the skillet, about 3-4 minutes per side, until they are golden brown and crispy on the outside and heated through on the inside. Work in batches if necessary, adding more oil if the skillet becomes too dry.
Transfer the cooked patties to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce or a simple side salad.
