Steps:
- Make the stock: Pull the turkey carcass apart into smaller pieces; set the meat aside. Put the bones in a large, deep pot and add cold water to cover, 4 to 5 quarts. Add the onion, celery, the 3 quartered carrots and the bay leaf. Tie the parsley and thyme together with twine and add to the pot, then cover and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Uncover, reduce the heat to medium low and cook 3 to 4 hours. Remove the bones and vegetables with a skimmer and discard, then strain the stock though a fine-mesh strainer. Return the stock to the pot and simmer over medium-high heat until reduced by half, 30 to 40 minutes (you'll have about 8 cups stock).
- About 45 minutes before serving, prepare the Dumplings. Keep covered with plastic wrap while you make the stew.
- Make the stew: Melt the butter in a large, wide pot over medium heat. Add the shallots and cook until soft, about 3 minutes. Add the flour and cook, stirring, 30 seconds. Gradually add the stock, stirring, and bring to a simmer. Season with salt and pepper. Add the sliced carrots and parsnips, cover and cook 5 minutes.
- Stir in the turkey meat, lemon juice and green beans. Add the Dumplings in a single layer (leave as squares or pat into rounds). Cover and simmer until the Dumplings are cooked through, about 20 minutes. Ladle into bowls; top with chives.
- Whisk the flour, herb mixture, baking powder, baking soda, salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Cut in the butter with a pastry blender until sandy. Stir in the buttermilk.
- Turn out onto a floured piece of parchment paper. Pat into a 3/4-inch-thick rectangle.
- Cut the dough into rough 2-inch squares with a large knife. Cover with plastic wrap.

DOWN HOME TURKEY STEW
A comforting and delicious "stew" or "soup" (Depending on whether you thicken it or not) that our family has been enjoying for many years. I hope you will enjoy it as well. :) Because the onion soup mix, steak sauce and the beef base contain so much sodium I do not use extra salt in the recipe. You may do so if you choose but please taste the "stew" first before salting. Ground beef can be substituted for the ground turkey.

Steps:
- In a large pot, saute carrots and onions in olive oil over medium-high heat until onions get tender but do not brown.
- Add ground turkey and cook until meat is cooked through. Cover with water just until all ingredients are submerged. (If you add too much water you will dilute the broth).
- Add dry onion soup mix, beef base, steak sauce, potatoes and pepper to taste.
- Add more water if needed just to cover.
- Continue cooking over med-high heat until potatoes are done. Enjoy!
- *You may thicken this if you like with whatever you use to thicken broth with but remember to taste and adjust seasonings if need be.
- This recipe tastes even better when made a day ahead. :).
- **Mrs. Grass dry onion soup mix has a different taste variation then Liptons dry onion soup mix so the outcome will taste somewhat different.

TURKEY STEW
Excellent use of leftover Thanksgiving turkey meat. Like many people, I have spent countless hours searching for unique and appealing ways to serve left-over turkey for the several days that followed our huge Thanskgiving feast. After trying several different soups and stews, my husband and I combined all the things we liked best about our favorite recipes and came up with this wonderful turkey stew recipe. It's our favorite, and the only turkey stew that we even eat anymore.

Steps:
- Dissolve the bouillon in the hot water to make a broth; set aside.
- Place the turkey meat, turkey bone, all the vegetables, flour, both rices, spices and chicken broth in a large kettle or Dutch oven
- Add as much of the 4 cups water as you prefer for desired consistency. Season with salt and pepper.
- Simmer over low heat for 30 to 45 minutes, or until the carrots and celery are tender and the turkey meat is heated through.
- Remove the turkey bone before serving stew.
- NOTE - you can easily use pasta in place of the rice. Just omit both the white and wild rices, and add about 1 cup uncooked egg noodles (or other pasta).
- TIP - I like to use a combination of white and dark meat when making this turkey stew, as I think it produces a much tastier stew. But you could easily use only white or only dark meat, to suit your taste buds.
- TIP - if you're watching your sodium intake, you can easily omit the chicken buillon cube in hot water and replace it with 1 cup of low-sodium canned chicken broth. For our health, we should consider this option but we are die-hard fans of this recipe and haven't been able to bring ourselves to do that -- at least not yet!

STEWED TURKEY WITH HERBS AND ONIONS
Steps:
- Rinse the turkey pieces and place them in a pot large enough to accommodate them. Cover with cold water and add the salt. Cover the pot and bring the contents to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce the temperature to keep the broth at a low simmer for 1 hour. Periodically, skim any froth that rises to the surface.
- After an hour, remove the turkey pieces and set aside to cool. Raise the heat until the broth comes to a boil. Continue boiling, uncovered, until the liquid is reduced by half. (This will take about an hour.)
- When the broth is reduced, add the sliced onions, herbs, vinegar, butter, sugar, peppercorns, and cloves. Simmer for about 20 minutes, until the onions are soft. While the broth is simmering, cut the cooled turkey into serving pieces.
- Before serving, taste the broth and adjust the seasoning. Place the meat into the broth and "let it take a walme or two," that is, let it simmer gently for just a minute. Pour the turkey and sauce into a serving bowl. Pass the "sippets" (toasted bread slices) to serve as a base for the turkey and to sop up the sauce.

CREAMY TURKEY STEW
This is a variation on a recipe from Ontario Turkey. We like our version much better. The difference is poultry seasoning, no wine, and starting with cooked leftover turkey. We usually make a double batch and it never lasts very long.
