Turkey TV Dinner & Potato Croquettes Recipe
Familiar dishes always return. If you have had your fill of turkey (for now), freeze a few TV dinners for a busy night or for just when you get that "craving" again! Old fashioned croquettes go great with steak or any meal. Of course you can add the traditional turkey to the croquettes as well and serve with cranberry.
