Here's what you need:
6 tablespoons butter
1/2 cup all-purpose flour

1 cup milk

1 cup chicken broth

2 teaspoons lemon juice

2 tablespoons parsley, fresh, chopped
2 teaspoons onions, grated
1/2 teaspoon celery salt

4 cu(s chicken, cooked, chopped or shredded
3/4 cup bread crumbs
1 large egg, beaten with 2 tablespoons water

1 dash pepper, paprika and nutmeg


Here's how to make it:

In a medium-size saucepan, melt butter. Blend in flour and add milk and chicken broth. Cook and stir until mixture thickens and bubbles, and continue cooking for 1 minute more. Add lemon juice, snipped parsley, and onion. Stir in celery salt and a dash each of pepper, paprika, and nutmeg.  Cool. In a large mixing bowl, combine sauce with the ground chicken. Chill thoroughly. With wet hands, shape mixture into balls. Roll balls one at a time in bread crumbs. Lightly shape balls into cones. For each croquette, dip it into the mixture of egg and water, then roll in bread crumbs. Again, dip croquette in egg/water mixture and roll in bread crumbs. Fry croquettes in deep-fat fryer for approximately 3 minutes or until brown. Drain. Serve with turkey gravy.
