Description

This turkey dumpling soup uses leftover turkey in rich, meaty broth with veggies and seasoned, from-scratch dumplings for a post-Thanksgiving winner.

Ingredients

1/2 cup butter, cubed
8 medium carrots, cut into 1-inch chunks
4 stalks celery, cut into 1-inch chunks
1 cup chopped onion
4 2/3 cups water, divided
2 (10 1/2 ounce) cans condensed beef consommé
2 teaspoons salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
3 cups cubed leftover cooked turkey
2 cups frozen cut green beans
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon poultry seasoning
3/4 cup 2% milk
1 large egg

Directions

1 Melt butter in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add carrots, celery, and onion and sauté until soft, 5 to 10 minutes.
2 Add 4 cups water, condensed consommé, salt, and pepper; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover, and cook until vegetables are tender, 10 to 15 minutes.
3 Add turkey and green beans to the Dutch oven; cook for 5 minutes.
4 Combine flour, remaining 2/3 cup water, and Worcestershire sauce in a small bowl and stir until smooth.
5 Stir into soup, increase heat, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer soup until thickened, about 5 minutes.
6 While soup is simmering, make dumplings: Mix flour, parsley, baking powder, salt, and poultry seasoning together in a large bowl. Whisk milk and egg together in a separate bowl. Stir egg mixture into flour mixture, mixing just until batter is moistened.
7 Drop tablespoons of dumpling batter into simmering soup.
8 Cover and simmer until a toothpick inserted into several dumplings comes out clean, 15 to 20 minutes.
