Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 6 servings

Soup:

  • 5 cups turkey broth

  • 4 cups cubed cooked turkey

  • 1 cup chopped onion

  • 1 cup chopped celery

  • 1 cup chopped carrots

  • 1 cup chopped button mushrooms

  • 1 cup frozen corn, thawed

  • 3 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1 ½ teaspoons ground thyme

  • 1 ½ teaspoons salt

  • 1 ½ teaspoons freshly ground black pepper

  • ½ teaspoon dried basil

  • ¼ teaspoon celery seed

  • ¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes

Dumplings:

  • ¾ cup milk

  • 2 large eggs

  • 4 cups leftover stuffing

  • ¼ cup dried cranberries

  • ½ medium onion, chopped

  • ½ stalk celery, chopped

  • 1 ½ teaspoons dried sage

  • 1 ½ teaspoons dried parsley

  • ¼ teaspoon salt

  • ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Directions

  1. Combine turkey broth, turkey, onion, celery, carrots, mushrooms, corn, garlic, thyme, salt, pepper, basil, celery seed, and red pepper flakes in a 5 1/2-quart slow cooker. Cover and cook on High for 4 hours.

  2. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

  3. About 30 minutes before soup is done, mix milk and eggs together in a large bowl. Add stuffing; toss until bread soaks up the liquid. Add cranberries, onion, celery, sage, parsley, salt, and pepper; toss until well combined. Scoop dumpling mixture with a large cookie scoop and transfer stuffing balls to the prepared baking sheet.

  4. Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 20 minutes.

  5. Serve soup with stuffing dumplings.

Cook's Notes:

You can use chicken broth instead of turkey broth in the soup.

You can use broth instead of milk in the dumplings, and stale bread instead of stuffing.
