Thanksgiving is this week and we hope you have things you are thankful for. I happen to be thankful that I will have leftover turkey after our Thanksgiving meal. This recipe, Turkey Dumpling Stew, is a great way to use use it up, is delicious and extremely easy to make.
I made this a while ago and wanted to save this blog post until this week, seeing it's that time of year for gobbling up the turkey. When I made this, I had some green beans leftover and thought, why not! You can customize this recipe with whatever leftover meat and veggies you may have leftover.
Ingredients
- 4 bacon strips, finely chopped
- 1-1/2 pounds turkey breast tenderloins, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 4 medium carrots, sliced
- 2 small onions, quartered
- 2 celery ribs, sliced
- 1 bay leaf
- 1/4 teaspoon dried rosemary, crushed
- 2 cups water, divided
- 1 can (14-1/2 ounces) reduced-sodium chicken broth
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 1 cup reduced-fat biscuit/baking mix
- 1/3 cup plus 1 tablespoon fat-free milk
- Optional: Coarsely ground pepper and chopped fresh parsley
Directions
- 1. In a Dutch oven, cook bacon over medium heat until crisp, stirring occasionally. Remove with a slotted spoon; drain on paper towels. Reserve 2 teaspoons drippings.
- 2. In drippings, saute turkey over medium-high heat until lightly browned. Add vegetables, herbs, 1-3/4 cups water and broth; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, covered, until vegetables are tender, 20-30 minutes.
- 3. Mix flour and remaining water until smooth; stir into turkey mixture. Bring to a boil; cook and stir until thickened, about 2 minutes. Discard bay leaf. Stir in salt, pepper, and bacon.
- 4. In a small bowl, mix biscuit mix and milk to form a soft dough; drop in 6 mounds on top of simmering stew. Cover; simmer 15 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in dumplings comes out clean. If desired, sprinkle with pepper and parsley before serving.
