Turkey Vegetable Soup with Stuffing Dumplings image

There's probably no better way to empty that overstuffed post-Thanksgiving refrigerator than a hearty soup.

If your leftover stuffing is chunky and rustic, finely chop it to make these delicate dumplings.

Categories     appetizer

Time 1h45m

Yield 6 Servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

Carcass from one 12 to 14 pound roasted turkey, picked clean
2 large onions, one quartered and one chopped
4 peeled carrots, 2 coarsely chopped and 2 sliced
4 stalks celery, 2 coarsely chopped and 2 sliced
6 garlic cloves, 4 smashed and 2 chopped
1 bay leaf
10 whole black peppercorns
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
2 large eggs
6 tablespoons all-purpose flour, plus more as needed
1/2 teaspoon salt, plus more as needed
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
2 cups leftover stuffing
2 sprigs fresh thyme
2 cups shredded leftover turkey meat
1 cup leftover corn kernels

Steps:

  • Put the turkey carcass, quartered onions, coarsely chopped carrots and celery, smashed garlic, bay leaf, and peppercorns in a large stockpot and add enough cold water to just cover, about 2 quarts. Bring the water to a boil, and then reduce the heat to maintain a gentle simmer and cook for 1 hour. Remove from the heat and strain the solids from the broth. Pour the liquid through a fine mesh strainer and reserve; you should have about 10 to 12 cups broth.
  • Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk the eggs, flour, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and some black pepper together until smooth. Add the stuffing and mix until well combined; cover and reserve.
  • Wipe the stockpot clean with a paper towel. Heat the oil in the pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic and cook until soft and translucent, about 6 minutes. Add the sliced carrots and celery, thyme sprigs, and reserved broth and bring to a simmer; cook vegetables are just soft, about 10 minutes.
  • Roll level tablespoons of the dumpling mixture into balls with wet hands (see note) and drop into the simmering soup; cook until dumplings float, 3-4 minutes. Gently stir in the turkey meat, corn, and season with salt and pepper, and simmer until heated through. Serve immediately.

TURKEY VEGETABLE SOUP WITH RED POTATOES



Turkey Vegetable Soup with Red Potatoes image

I was in the mood for a hearty, vegetable-heavy soup last night, and made this with ground turkey and red potatoes I had on hand. It came together quickly and the whole family loved it, so I thought I'd share the recipe. You could also make this in a slow cooker.

Tips:

  • To make the soup extra flavorful, use a combination of vegetable and chicken broth. You can also add a bay leaf, thyme sprig, or rosemary sprig to the pot while it's simmering.
  • Don't be afraid to add your own favorite vegetables to the soup. Some good options include carrots, celery, potatoes, and green beans.
  • If you want a thicker soup, you can stir in a cornstarch slurry or a roux. Just be sure to add it slowly so that the soup doesn't become lumpy.
  • Serve the soup with a side of crusty bread or crackers for dipping.

Conclusion:

This vegetable turkey soup is a hearty and flavorful meal that's perfect for a cold winter day. It's also a great way to use up leftover turkey from Thanksgiving or Christmas dinner. So next time you're looking for a comforting and delicious soup, give this recipe a try.
