Turkey with Cornmeal Dumplings

After Thanksgiving, you might have more leftover turkey than you know what to do with. Here is a terrific recipe for leftover turkey. Now, there are some people who see no reason to make something out of the leftover turkey when you can just enjoy the turkey as is. But then you might never try the tasty recipe. 

This recipe makes a thick stew that is a bit like Thanksgiving in a bowl--turkey, cornbread, and gravy. Next time that I make this recipe, I might add some chopped celery for more Thanksgiving flavor. The dumplings are made by dropping in spoonfuls of batter into the soup base. My first few attempts did not result in dumplings, but later attempts did result in good-sized dumplings.

Turkey with Cornmeal Dumplings 

• 3 cubes chicken bouillon dissolved in 2 1/2 cups boiling water
• 1/3 cup flour blended with 1/2 cup cold water
• 3 cups cubed cooked turkey
• 1/3 cup cornmeal
• 1 Tbsp. baking powder
• 1/2 tsp. salt
• 1/4 tsp. poultry seasoning
• 1 egg
• 1/3 cup milk
• 1/3 cup flour

Over medium heat, stir dissolved bouillon and blended flour until thickened. Add turkey. Stir together well cornmeal, baking powder, salt, poultry seasoning, egg, milk, and flour. Drop by tablespoon into gently simmering sauce. Cover and cook for 15-20 minutes or until dumplings are cooked through. Enjoy!
