4. Heat 2 teaspoons oil in large skillet over medium heat. Cook 4 fritters, 3 minutes per side, until golden. Transfer to platter; cover and keep warm. Repeat with remaining 2 teaspoons oil and fritters.

NOTES : Got at least three cups of cooked turkey left over from Thanksgiving? That's all you need to whip up this hearty meal. These skillet patties get their spicy kick from smoked chile pepper. Serve them with a dab of cranberry relish to counter the heat.
