From Ruth Van Waerebeek’s “Everybody Eats Well in Belgian Cookbook.” She uses it as the stuffing in her Christmas Turkey recipe, which I use on Thanksgiving. The stuffing takes a fair amount of prep (and those porcini mushrooms can be hard to find and expensive; I’ve started skipping them), but people absolutely love it. It’s got a rich, complex taste completely different from the traditional bread-and-herb stuffing. (I looked it up: Forcemeat comes from the French “farce,” to stuff. The forcemeat stuffing is more like a meatloaf.) This recipe is enough for a 12 to 14 pound turkey.

From Ruth Van Waerebeek’s “Everybody Eats Well in Belgium Cookbook.” Labor intensive, somewhat messy and time-consuming to make, but people rave about these. Golden brown and crunchy on the outside, then mashed potato heaven inside. I’ve done what Ruth recommends: make the croquettes the day before, and just do the deep frying at dinner time.
