Turkey Stew & Dumplings

So I've had a food revelation. Gasp!! All my life I thought I just sort of liked stew until now. I realized after making this stew that I don't like potatoes in stew at all. Don't get me wrong, I love the starchy goodness of potatoes but for some reason I'm not a fan of them in the stew. Game changer! I digress....
Do you ever have leftover turkey after the holidays? Try out this easy turkey stew. We made this after Thanksgiving with all the delish leftover turkey my Mama sent home with us. I friggin' love leftovers so much.

Stew Ingredients

2 tablespoons butter

4 carrots, peeled & chopped                          

4 celery ribs, chopped                           

1 small onion, diced

1 cup frozen peas  

3ish cups of leftover turkey, cubed                                                  

6 cups beef broth                                                        

1 teaspoonssalt

1/4 teaspoon pepper                                                        

1/2 teaspoon sage                                                    

2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce

1/4 cup all-purpose flour mixed with 1/4 cup water 

 

Dumpling Ingredients

1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour

2 teaspoons baking powder

1 teaspoon salt

1 1/2 teaspoons parsley

3/4 cup milk                            

1 egg

Method

In a large soup pot sauté the carrots, celery and onion in butter for 10 minutes. Add all remaining ingredients (including flour/water mixture), stir, reduce to a simmer, cover and cook for 10 minutes. While it's simmering make the dumping (mix dry ingredients together, and dry ingredients separately then mix the two together -- or you can use Bisquick!). After 10 minutes of stew simmering drop dumpling dough by heaping tablespoons onto the top of the stew. Cover and continue to simmer for 20 additional minutes, or until dumplings are cooked through. Done. Delish. Enjoy!
