Turkey Soup with Stuffing Dumplings

Turkey Soup with Stuffing Dumplings by joanie

This is a great way to use Thanksgiving leftovers. So delicious, and the stuffing dumplings are fantastic.

Ingredients

  • Carcass from a roasted turkey
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 1 egg
  • pinch kosher salt
  • pinch black pepper
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup stuffing
  • 2 carrots, peeled and chopped
  • 2 stalks celery, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup leftover turkey meat, diced or shredded
about 6 servings

Directions

Combine the turkey carcass and onion in a large stock pot. Cover with water and bring to a boil. Then simmer for 3-5 hours, depending on your patience.

Meanwhile, whisk the egg, salt, pepper, and flour until combined. Fold in the stuffing and mix until incorporated. (It may take a little muscle. That's okay.) Set aside.

When the stock tastes delicious, remove from heat and strain. Hopefully you'll have at least 2 quarts of liquid. Return the liquid to the pot and bring back to a healthy simmer. Add the carrots, celery, and garlic. Cook for about 30 minutes or until the carrots are tender. Add the turkey meat.

Drop a flattened tablespoons of dumplings into the soup. Cook for about 5 minutes.

Serve.

5 hours or so
