If you have leftover turkey, prepare some tasty turkey croquetas instead of the traditional turkey sandwich for your family. You can also prepare them with ham, chicken, fish or veggies. Preparing them is very easy and the béchamel sauce makes all the difference. If you don't want to serve them right away, you can save them in a plastic container and freeze them.
