Turkey Dumpling Soup

Thanksgiving in our family is a huge event. I love playing host to these Thanksgiving dinners so I can bring the family together and share amazing food. There’s definitely a lot to be thankful for each year, so there’s nothing like eating your heart out during this holiday!

When the party’s over, I sometimes find leftover turkey still lying around. Instead of tossing out the leftovers, why not get creative? That’s basically how I came to love Addie’s recipe for turkey dumpling soup.

More than just a way to economize and lessen food waste, this turkey dumpling soup can easily become a well-loved comfort food in your household. Imagine this: the juicy taste of turkey combined with cream, butter, and some tender mixed veggies. If that isn’t enough of a temptation, the herbs and spices will certainly draw you in with their delectable aroma and bold flavors. Meanwhile, the dumpling dough adds to the chewy texture complementing the soup. For a thicker broth, all you need to do is add an extra tablespoon of flour. This recipe is also relatively quick to prepare — it won’t even take an hour — which can come in handy when you haven’t really gone past party mode.

Aside from being filling and delicious, all the ingredients you need for this turkey dumpling soup are easy to find in your pantry. You might not even have to make a trip to the grocery store if you’ve got a homegrown garden with a handful of veggies and herbs.

Don’t throw out those Thanksgiving leftovers just yet! Take a crack at this recipe for turkey dumpling soup, so you can transform those leftovers into a delicious bowlful that can keep you warm this winter!
