One taste of these turkey croquettes and you will want to make sure you have turkey leftovers. Fresh lime and cilantro add not only flavor but a real freshness to the croquettes. Jalapenos add a bit of heat. Those three ingredients alone give these a Southwest feel. Once fried, they’re crunchy on the outside. Baking them in the oven warms them thoroughly. A great way to reinvent Thanksgiving leftovers. Serve with your favorite condiment.
