Turkey Croquettes

• 3 slices whole-wheat bread, crusts removed
• 1/4 cup milk
• 2 1/2 cups coarsely chopped cooked turkey
• 1 cup coarsely chopped onion
• 2 eggs, lightly beaten
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
• 2 cups seasoned dried bread crumbs
• 3 tablespoons chopped fresh Italian (flat-leaf) parsley
• 2 tablespoons paprika
• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• 1 cup corn oil
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• Leftover turkey gravy

1. Soak the bread slices in the milk for 10 minutes.

3. Set it aside.
4. In a large mixing bowl, combine the turkey, shredded bread, onion, eggs, thyme, and salt and pepper.
5. Toss well.
6. Then transfer the mixture to a food processor, and using the pulse action, process until it is well blended but not completely pureed.
7. Cover, and refrigerate for 1 hour.
8. Combine the bread crumbs, parsley, paprika, and melted butter in a 9-inch pie plate.
9. Stir with a fork.
10. Shape the chilled turkey mixture into six large patties.
11. Coat them with the bread crumb mixture, cover with plastic wrap, and return to the refrigerator for 1 hour more.
12. Heat 1/2 cup of the corn oil and 1 tablespoon of the butter in a large skillet.
