Turkey dumpling stew is a comforting and hearty dish, perfect for utilizing leftover turkey. Here's a simple recipe to make a delicious Turkey Dumpling Stew:
Ingredients:
For the Stew:
- 3 cups cooked turkey, shredded or diced
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- 2 carrots, peeled and sliced
- 2 celery stalks, sliced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup frozen peas
- 1 cup frozen corn
- 6 cups turkey or chicken broth
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
- Salt and pepper to taste
For the Dumplings:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup milk
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
Instructions:
For the Stew:
In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, carrots, celery, and garlic. Sauté until the vegetables are softened.
Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and stir well to coat. Cook for 2-3 minutes to eliminate the raw flour taste.
Gradually add the turkey or chicken broth, stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
Add the shredded or diced turkey, frozen peas, frozen corn, thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Simmer the stew for 15-20 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
For the Dumplings:
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
Add the melted butter and milk to the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined; the batter will be thick.
Drop spoonfuls of the dumpling batter onto the simmering stew. Cover the pot with a lid and let the dumplings steam for 15-20 minutes, or until they are cooked through and fluffy.
Resist the urge to lift the lid during the dumpling cooking time, as the steam helps them cook properly.
Once the dumplings are cooked, serve the stew and dumplings hot. Garnish with fresh herbs if desired.
Enjoy your comforting Turkey Dumpling Stew! It's a delightful way to use leftover turkey and create a wholesome, flavourful meal.
