Instructions
1
In a slow cooker, combine the leftover turkey, broth, chopped onion, sliced carrots, sliced celery, minced garlic, thyme, sage, salt and pepper. Stir well to mix the ingredients together.
2
Cover the slow cooker and cook on LOW heat for 6-8 hours or HIGH heat for 3-4 hours. This will allow the flavors to meld together and the vegetables to become tender.
3
About 30 minutes before the soup is done, add the flour, baking powder and salt to a medium sized bowl and whisk together. Pour in the milk and melted butter and stir until just combined. The dough should be slightly sticky.
4
Drop rounded spoonfuls of the dumpling dough onto the surface of the soup in the slow cooker, creating evenly sized dumplings. Gently push the dumplings into the soup to cover them with the broth.
5
Cover the slow cooker and cook on HIGH heat for an additional 1 hour, or until the dumplings are cooked through and puffed up. Keep the lid on the entire hour for optimal results.
6
Once the dumplings are cooked, gently stir the soup to combine the dumplings with the soup.
7
Serve the slow cooker turkey and dumplings hot, garnished with fresh herbs such as parsley or thyme. Enjoy!
