Servings 6

Ingredients

  • 1 batch Roasted Garlic Gorgonzola Mashed Potatoes
  • 1 can Keystone Meats Turkey
  • 4 C Chicharrone Ciabatta Breadcrumbs
  • 1/2 C Roasted Garlic Cloves in Oil (Hat tip to the antipasto bar)
  • 6 oz Crumbled Gorgonzola
  • Vegetable Oil for Frying
  • big sprinkle Penzey's Granulated Roasted Garlic

Instructions

  • In a large mixing bowl, combined the whole can of Keystone Turkey (pro tip, drain the water off first) and the mashed potatoes, stirring well so that the meat to potato ratio is even throughout. 
  • Working with your hands, create your fritters, folding a couple of cloves of roasted garlic and a pinch of gorgonzola into the center of each ball.
  • Toss fritters into a shallow bowl with your chicharrones breadcrumbs till well and evenly coated, and set aside.  
  • Once you're here, you can freeze your fritters, pulling them out again as needed.
     That could be any time from an impromptu wine and girls night to your significant other called to tell you that they and their boss are on their way to the house for dinner now, and you're not anywhere near ready to entertain.
  • Heat oil in Dutch Over (watch your temperature, and yes, steam is very normal)
  • Fry 'em up, drain 'em and toss them in with Penzey's granulated roasted garlic, and serve with your dipping sauce of choice. (pro tip, use the Gorgonzola crema.)
