Recipe: Thai Curry Turkey Rissoles or Croquettes

These Thai curry flavoured turkey croquettes, served with jewelled cranberry mixed grains, are ideas for Christmas or Thanksgiving turkey leftovers.These turkey croquettes or koftas flavoured with the zingy bold flavours of coriander, ginger and lime are perfect for using up left over Christmas or Thanksgiving turkey or chicken.

Accompanied by jewelled cranberry cous cous  – which handily uses up some left over cranberry sauce – this lighter meal will refresh your tastebuds after the heavier traditional Christmas or Thanksgiving foods.   I like to use a mixture of grains, so here I have used equal quantities of cous cous and bulgar wheat.

For more Thai Curry inspiration you may like my vegan & gluten free Thai Curry Spicy Bean Burgers, leftover cous cous is delicious fried up with an egg and some extra vegetables as egg fried cous cous.

    I could never put my finger on why I didn’t like the sound of rissoles – but you’re right, it’s the ‘gristle’ connection! How unpleasant! Croquettes, however, are one of my favourite foods, so this sounds much nicer! I’m not a massive Thai curry fan, but fancy trying this with some fresh sage instead.
