My Turkey and Potato Dumpling Soup is a packed with leftover turkey, veggies, and mashed potato dumplings. A delicious way to enjoy holiday leftovers!

Leftovers are one of my favorite parts of holiday meals. I love making casseroles, salad, spreads, and soups. My Turkey and Potato Dumpling Soup is one of my all-time favorite ways to use my leftovers.

This soup is not an "all-day in the kitchen" soup. This means that dinner can be on the table quickly. This is not your traditional dumpling soup because I use leftover mashed potatoes for the dumplings.

What makes mashed potato dumplings unique? Well, they are made with potatoes, of course.

The texture is different as well. The dumplings are lighter and more tender than dumplings just made with egg and flour. They also break apart slightly in the soup and give it a creamy consistency.

Instructions

  1. In a soup pot or dutch oven, warm olive oil over medium heat. Add carrots, onion, and celery.
  2. Once the veggies begin to soften and onion becomes translucent add salt, pepper, thyme, and poultry seasoning. Stir.
  3. Add the broth and the shredded turkey and simmer for 10 minutes.
  4. While the soup simmers, prepare the dumpling dough.
  5. In a bowl, mix together the potatoes, flour, baking powder, egg, and parsley. If the dumpling dough feels sticky, add and additional 1-2 tablespoon of flour.
  6. Bring the soup to a low boil over medium-high heat. Add the dumpling dough in tablespoon amounts to the soup.
  7. Allow the dumpling to cook with the soup for 8-10 minutes. The dumplings will float towards the top as they cook. Some dumplings will reduce in size. This is normal and it gives the soup a delicious creamy consistency.
  8. Serve in bowls and enjoy.
