Savor the flavors of Thanksgiving with this incredible turkey soup using leftover turkey and stuffing.
Ingredients:
  • 1 roast turkey carcass
  • 6 quarts water
  • 4 medium onions
  • 6 medium carrots
  • 5 stalks celery
  • 6 cups leftover stuffing
  • 6 egg whites
  • 1 cup peas
  • 1 cup corn kernels
  • 1 cup cubed turnips
  • 1 cup fresh green beans, trimmed
  • 1 (16 ounce) can jellied cranberry sauce
  • 1 (16 ounce) can whole berry cranberry sauce
  • 1 tablespoon poultry seasoning, such as Bell's
  • salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
  • Position the oven rack 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the broiler. Take all meat off the cooked turkey carcass and keep it aside. Place the bones in a roasting pan and broil until both sides are browned.
  • Transfer the browned bones to a large stock pot and cover with 6 quarts of water. Peel and chop the onions, carrots, and celery; add peels and ends to the pot and set aside the cleaned vegetables. Simmer the bones and vegetable scraps for 1 hour. Let the stock cool for 20 minutes, then strain, discard bones and scraps. Remove fat by refrigerating overnight and removing the solidified fat on top or skimming with a ladle.
  • In a large bowl, mix together leftover stuffing and egg whites, shaping the mixture into small balls. Place the balls on a microwave-safe plate and microwave on High for 1 1/2 to 2 minutes. Heat a large skillet over medium heat, spray with cooking oil, and cook the dumplings until golden brown on all sides. Set aside once cooked.
  • Combine the reserved chopped turkey, onions, celery, and carrots with the strained soup stock and simmer gently for 1 hour. Add peas, corn, green beans, and turnips; cook until the veggies are tender. Mix in jellied and whole berry cranberry sauces, poultry seasoning, salt, and pepper until well combined. Add the cooked dumplings and heat through once the cranberry sauce dissolves into the soup.
