Leftover Turkey Soup with Potato Drop Dumplings
Description
The soup begins by sautéing chopped onions in olive oil until soft, then adding turkey or chicken broth along with chopped cooked turkey and mixed vegetables. A touch of poultry seasoning adds subtle herbal notes. The mixture simmers to meld flavors.
Meanwhile, the potato dumplings are prepared by mixing garlic-flavored mashed potato flakes with flour, baking powder, parsley, egg, and salt to form a soft dough. Spoonfuls of this dough are dropped onto the simmering soup, where they cook until they float to the surface, indicating they are cooked through with a tender, light texture.
Serving consists of placing several dumplings in a bowl with ladled soup poured over. The dumplings provide a soft contrast to the clear broth and vegetables, making the soup filling and satisfying. This recipe is a practical way to repurpose leftover turkey, adding comforting starch in the form of potato dumplings while maintaining a simple, savory flavor profile.
