TURKEY VEGETABLE SOUP WITH STUFFING DUMPLINGS RECIPE - (4.6/5)



Turkey Vegetable Soup with Stuffing Dumplings Recipe - (4.6/5) image

Provided by á-10360

Number Of Ingredients 20

Carcass of 1 (12- to 14-pound) roasted turkey, picked clean
1 large onion, quartered
1 large onion, chopped
2 carrots, peeled and coarsely chopped
2 carrots, peeled and sliced
2 stalks celery, coarsley chopped
2 stalks celery, sliced
4 cloves garlic, smashed
2 cloves garlic, sliced
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. NOTE: Moistness of stuffing can vary; if the dumpling dough is too soft to roll, add flour a teaspoon at a time until it is firm enough to hold its shape while rolling.

STUFFING DUMPLING SOUP



Stuffing Dumpling Soup image

Smash it up eggs and flour, and leftover stuffing transforms into a tender dumpling dough. A simple bone broth made from your turkey carcass creates a savory base, which you then load up with kale and sweet potatoes for a hearty, healthy post-Thanksgiving meal. If you prefer to roll your dumplings into visually perfect balls, leave out the 1/3 cup turkey stock for a sturdier dough, but if you don't mind a rustic look, that additional moisture ensures a lighter dumpling.

Time 2h30m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 turkey carcass, picked clean (about 4 pounds)
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar, plus more to taste
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 medium sweet potatoes (about 1 pound), peeled and cut into bite-size cubes
1 medium yellow or white onion (about 10 ounces), chopped
Kosher salt
1 pound kale (any type), stripped from stems and coarsely chopped (about 6 lightly packed cups)
4 garlic cloves, smashed, peeled and chopped
1/2 teaspoon red-pepper flakes, plus more to taste
2 cups cubed leftover turkey
2 1/2 cups leftover stuffing, slightly warmed
2 large eggs
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder

Steps:

  • Prepare the stock: Roughly chop the carcass so you don't have any pieces bigger than your hands. (This is just so the pieces fit more compactly in the pot - don't overthink it.) Place in a pressure cooker. Add the vinegar and cover with 2 1/2 quarts water. Bring to full pressure and cook for 1 1/2 hours. Allow the pressure cooker to cool down naturally, pluck out and discard the larger bones, then strain the stock through a fine-mesh sieve, discarding solids. You should have 9 to 10 cups of stock. (You can also prepare the stock on the stovetop in a large pot, simmering for 3 1/2 to 4 hours, and topping off with water as needed.) Leftover stock can be kept in the refrigerator for 3 days or frozen for up to 3 months.
  • Prepare the soup: In a large Dutch oven or heavy pot over medium-high heat, melt the butter until foamy. Add the sweet potatoes, onion and a big pinch of kosher salt. Cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is tender and translucent, about 5 minutes.
  • Add the kale, garlic and red-pepper flakes, and season with a big pinch of kosher salt. Cover the pot and cook until the greens are wilted, about 2 minutes.
  • Add 2 quarts of the prepared turkey stock and season with kosher salt to taste. Increase the heat to bring the soup to a boil, then reduce to an active simmer and cook, partly covered, until the greens and sweet potatoes are tender, about 20 minutes.
  • While the soup simmers, prepare the dumplings: In a medium bowl, combine the stuffing and 1/3 cup of the turkey stock, and mash with a potato masher until the stuffing is broken up. Add the eggs, flour, baking powder and a big pinch of kosher salt, and mix until well combined.
  • Taste the soup and adjust the seasoning to taste with more salt, red-pepper flakes and vinegar, if needed. Stir in the turkey.
  • Using two big spoons, plop the stuffing mixture into the soup like big drop biscuits. Cover the pot, reduce heat to low, and gently simmer until dumplings feel set and firm, 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Divide soup across bowls. (If storing leftovers, scoop the dumplings out of the soup and store separately to prevent them from soaking up all the broth as they sit. Dumplings and soup will keep refrigerated for up to 2 days.)
