- Take approximately a golf ball amount of stuffing and place 2 teaspoons of turkey in the middle. Seal the stuffing around the turkey and roll into tight balls. Repeat until done.
- Make a breading station of potato starch, eggs and panko. Mix 1/4 teaspoon pepper into the potato starch. Beat the eggs until very frothy.
- Dredge one turkey croquette through the potato starch to completely coat. Dip the croquette into egg and coat well. Roll the croquette through panko. Continue until all croquettes have been breaded.
- Grease the air fryer basket with coconut oil. Spray each croquette thoroughly with an oil mister and place as many as can fit, leaving a little space between each croquette, into the air fryer basket.
- Cook at 380°F for 10 minutes, turning over the croquettes after 6 minutes. Keep an eye on the croquettes, as you may need more time. Air fry until browned.
- Dip in warm gravy and top with cranberry sauce, if desired.
Notes: Make as much or as little as you like. If you run out of turkey, stuffing croquettes are delicious.
