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

Directions

Step 1

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.

Step 2

Form the mixture into small round patties, about 2 inches in diameter and 1 inch thick. Set aside on a plate.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

Sprinkle the flour over the mushrooms and stir to coat evenly. Cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly, to remove the raw flour taste.

Step 6

Slowly pour in the chicken stock, whisking continuously to prevent lumps. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the mixture begins to thicken.

Step 7

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.

Step 8

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.

Step 9

Serve the turkey croquettes topped with the creamy mushroom sauce. Garnish with additional parsley if desired, and enjoy!
