Gobbling Leftovers (featuring turkey)

 Hey there! 

*

Here are a couple of turkey leftover 

meals that have been used to clean out the refrigerator after Thanksgiving.

Hannah from  Hannah's Frugal Kitchen 

says that she likes to make a pot pie and sub the chicken for turkey.

Yummo!

I loved this idea so much

that I decided 

to make one myself

and it was 

DELICIOUS!

Thank you for the great idea Hannah!

 Christine from The Good, The Pure, and the Lovely shared a great turkey with dumpling stew recipe! 

I posted the recipe below, or you can follow the link to view the full article!

Turkey Dumpling Stew

8 medium carrots, cut into 1/2 - inch chunks
4 celery ribs, cut into 1/2 - inch chunks
1 cup chopped onion
1/2 cup butter or margarine
2 1/2 cups beef broth (I made mine from beef soup base)
4 and 2/3 cups water, divided
2 tsp salt, or more to taste
1/4 tsp pepper, or more to taste
3 cups cubed turkey (mine was more shredded than cubed)
2 to 4 cups frozen cut green beans (depending on how much you like green beans)
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
2 tsp Worcestershire sauce (I was quite liberal with this)

DUMPLINGS:
1 and 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup milk
1 egg

    In large pot, saute carrots, celery and onion for 10 minutes.  Add beef broth, 4 cups water, salt and pepper.  Cover and cook over low heat for 15 minutes or until vegetables are tender.  Add turkey and beans; cook for 5 minutes.  Combine flour, Worcestershire sauce and remaining water until smooth, stir into turkey mixture.  Bring to a boil.  Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 5 minutes. 

    For dumplings, combine flour, baking powder, and salt in a bowl.  Combine milk and egg; stir into flour mixture just until moistened.  Drop by tablespoonfuls onto simmering stew.  Cover and simmer for 10 minutes; uncover and simmer 10 minutes longer.

Thanks gals for sharing your turkey meal ideas! 

I hope you all are enjoying your Advent! Christmas is 12 days away!
