Got leftover turkey and stuffing from Thanksgiving dinner? No problem! Check out this easy leftover turkey soup & stuffing dumplings recipe!

Leftover Turkey Soup Hero Pic

Another recipe for Thanksgiving leftovers!  This leftover turkey soup & stuffing dumplings was more delicious than anticipated.  This soup started out as an experiment with stuffing dumplings.  I am really pleased with the way the soup and stuffing compliment each other.  I also liked that if someone didn't want the stuffing dumplings (certain children who will not be named) then it's as easy as not scooping any dumplings into their soup.  That may not sound like a big deal, but to anyone who has had to go through a meal with a fine toothed comb to pick out the offending ingredient you know how monumental this is! And just in case you were wondering, this soup reheats really well, even the dumplings.

Leftover stuffing, flour and egg in a mixing bowl.

The leftover turkey soup part of this recipe is pretty straight forward so I'm going to focus more on the stuffing dumplings.   They are easy, but I thought we'd go through a couple things.  You want to make the dumplings before you make the soup so that they can chill a little bit while you make the soup.  In the mixing bowl above I have 2 Cups of leftover stuffing, 2 Eggs, and ⅓ cup flour.  Mix these together well.

Stuffing scooped onto wax paper.

Scoop this somewhat sticky mixture onto wax paper.  Each scoop should be about a  ½ tablespoon of stuffing mixture.  I use my small cookie scoop to do this so all my dumplings are the same size and I got 32 small dumplings. Chill these dumplings in the fridge while preparing the soup.

Stuffing dumpling rolled in a ball.

After the velveeta has been added, melted, thoroughly mixed throughout the soup, bring the soup to a low boil.  Take each dumpling and roll them with your hands shaping them into balls.  Drop each dumpling into the boiling soup as you make them.  Allow the dumplings to cook at a low boil for 5 minutes stirring here and there to preheat the soup from burning on the bottom of the pan.  Remove the soup from the heat, cool slightly before serving.  You can sprinkle some chopped chives on the top as garnish if you desire.

      This was a great idea for using leftover dressing. The texture of the dumplings was perfect! I found the cheese an interesting twist. My hubby doesn't like soup, so I only used 1 each carrot and 1 celery, and more turkey.
      The dumpling method was spot on, and making small (1/2 tbs) dumplings was the way to go.
      Thank you for sharing your recipe!
