Turkey Dumpling Soup Ingredients

Here's what you'll need to make the best turkey dumpling soup of your life:

For the soup:

· Butter: This turkey dumpling soup starts with veggies sautéed in butter.
· Vegetables: You'll need diced onion, celery, and carrots (your basic mirepoix).
· Beef consommé: If you don't have beef consommé on hand, you can use leftover turkey broth or stock.
· Seasonings: The turkey with dumplings soup is seasoned with salt, black pepper, and two teaspoons of Worcestershire sauce.
· Turkey: This soup is a great use for leftover cooked turkey.
· Green beans: Frozen green beans give the soup a nutritious boost. You could use frozen peas instead.
· Flour: All-purpose flour thickens the soup, making it extra hearty.

For the dumplings:

· Flour: You'll need some more all-purpose flour for the dumplings (1 ½ cups, to be exact).
· Parsley: Fresh parsley gives the dumplings a pop of flavor and color.
· Baking powder: Baking powder acts as a leavener, which means it helps create light and fluffy dumplings.
· Seasonings: These dumplings are seasoned with salt and poultry seasoning.
· Milk: Reduced-fat milk adds flavor, richness, and moisture. You can substitute your favorite alternative milk, if you like.
· Egg: An egg lends moisture and helps bind the dumplings together.

Ingredients

½ cup butter, cubed
8 medium carrots, cut into 1-inch chunks
4 stalks celery, cut into 1-inch chunks
1 cup chopped onion
4 ⅔ cups water, divided
2 (10.5 ounce) cans condensed beef consommé
2 teaspoons salt
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
3 cups cubed leftover cooked turkey
2 cups frozen cut green beans
½ cup all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce

Dumplings:

1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
⅛ teaspoon poultry seasoning
¾ cup 2% milk
1 large egg

Directions

Melt butter in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add carrots, celery, and onion and sauté until soft, 5 to 10 minutes. 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.
Add turkey and green beans to the Dutch oven; cook for 5 minutes.
Combine flour, remaining 2/3 cup water, and Worcestershire sauce in a bowl and stir until smooth. Stir flour mixture into the soup, increase heat, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer soup until thickened, about 5 minutes.
While the soup is simmering, make the 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 wet ingredients into the dry ingredient, mixing just until moistened.
Drop tablespoons of dumpling batter into the simmering soup. Cover and simmer until a toothpick inserted into several dumplings comes out clean, 15 to 20 minutes.

Tips

You can use 2 cups leftover turkey stock or broth instead of condensed beef consommé, and frozen peas instead of green beans.
