I MAKE SURE THERE ARE LEFTOVERS JUST TO MAKE THIS RECIPE. IF NOT I JUST BY SOME STORE MADE MASHED SWEET POTATOES AND OT STILL TURNS OUT GREAT. NEVER MADE THE SALSA, BUT THE CROQUETTS GO GREAT WITH RANCH DRESSING OR HOT MUSTARD.

Love this recipe! Always a go to with left over turkey. Never dry, the sweet potato makes it moist, YUM. I don't usually make the cranberry relish. I'll serve it with whole berry cranberry sauce or gravy. And if I have leftover gravy from turkey dinner I use that instead of the milk, butter, flour, onion sauté. Always looking for tasting shortcuts. ;) enjoy!
I have made with chicken and regular mashed potatoes. My teenager loves them and always asks for them. A little bit of work but worth it!!

Too much work for too little flavour. I expected the sweet potato taste to come through. It did not. Even hubby who will eat anything said not to make it again.
