Description
These air fryer turkey croquettes are golden-crisp on the outside and creamy, savory on the inside—made with lean turkey, mashed potatoes, herbs, and a hint of garlic. Air-fried instead of deep-fried, they’re a healthier way to turn leftovers into something crave-worthy.
Ingredients
2 cups cooked turkey, finely chopped
1 cup mashed potatoes
1 egg
¼ cup shredded cheese (optional)
2 tbsp chopped parsley or green onion
½ tsp garlic powder
Salt and pepper to taste
¾ cup breadcrumbs (divided)
Olive oil spray
Instructions
In a bowl, mix turkey, mashed potatoes, egg, cheese, herbs, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and ¼ cup breadcrumbs until well combined.
Shape into small logs or balls and roll in remaining breadcrumbs to coat.
Lightly spray with oil and place in air fryer basket in a single layer.
Air fry at 375°F (190°C) for 10–12 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and crispy.
Serve with dipping sauce like cranberry mustard or herbed yogurt.
