### Tips

For the creamiest dumplings, use a combination of all-purpose flour and self-rising flour.
Don't overwork the dumpling dough. Overworking will make the dumplings tough.
Drop the dumplings into the slow cooker in batches to prevent them from sticking together.
Cover the slow cooker while cooking the dumplings. This will help the dumplings to cook evenly.
Don't lift the lid of the slow cooker while the dumplings are cooking. This will cause the dumplings to fall.
Serve the turkey and dumplings immediately. The dumplings will be at their best when they are fresh out of the slow cooker.
