Ingredients
-
2 slices bread, or more as needed
-
2 tablespoons butter
-
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
-
½ cup milk
-
½ cup chicken broth
-
2 cups diced cooked turkey
-
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
-
¼ teaspoon dried rosemary
-
salt and ground black pepper to taste
-
1 egg, beaten
Directions
-
Place bread in a blender and blend until soft crumbs form. Place bread crumbs in a shallow bowl.
-
Heat butter in a saucepan over medium heat until melted. Stir flour into melted butter until dissolved. Mix milk and broth into butter-flour mixture; cook and stir until mixture is thick, about 5 minutes. Remove saucepan from heat and cool mixture.
-
Mix turkey, parsley, rosemary, salt, and pepper into cooled mixture. Form turkey mixture into balls. Place balls on a plate and refrigerate until chilled, at least 3 hours.
-
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
-
Dip balls in the beaten egg, allowing excess to drip back into bowl. Press balls into bread crumbs until coated. Arrange balls on a baking sheet.
-
Bake in the preheated oven until cooked through and browned, 25 to 30 minutes.
Cook’s Note
Chicken can be substituted for the turkey, and dried parsley can be substituted for fresh.
You can spice this up even more with thyme, sage, poultry seasoning, and onion powder.
We like to make a bunch and freeze them for future meals.
