• Melt butter in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Saute carrots, celery, and onion for 10 minutes. Add 4 cups water, consomme, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and cover. Cook until vegetables are tender, about 15 minutes.
• Add turkey and beans to the vegetables. Cook for 5 minutes. Mix flour and Worcestershire sauce with remaining water in a bowl until smooth; stir into turkey mixture. Increase heat and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer soup until thickened, about 5 minutes.
• For the dumplings, combine flour, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl. Stir in parsley and poultry seasoning. Combine milk and egg in a separate bowl; stir into flour mixture until just moistened. Drop mixture by tablespoons onto the simmering soup. Cover and simmer until a toothpick inserted into a dumpling comes out clean, about 20 minutes.

Steps:

• Make the stock: Combine all of the ingredients in a large stockpot and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook, skimming occasionally, until slightly reduced, 4 to 5 hours. Strain the solids and discard. Set the stock aside and keep warm until you're ready to add it to the soup. (You could also make the stock in a pressure cooker.)
• Make the dumplings: Whisk together the eggs, milk, nutmeg and chives in a medium bowl. Season well with salt and pepper then stir in the flour until smooth. Cover and allow to rest until you're ready to add to the dumplings to the soup.
• Make the soup: Place a large stockpot over medium-high heat. Melt the butter in a large stockpot over medium-high heat and add a drizzle of olive oil. Add the onions, carrots, celery and a large pinch of salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, 5 to 8 minutes. Stir in the cabbage and season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage begins to wilt 2 to 3 minutes. Add the turkey stock and bring to a simmer. Simmer until all of the flavors come together, about 45 minutes.
• Increase the heat to bring the soup to a gentle boil. Place the dumpling batter on a damp cutting board and cut into bite-size pieces with a bench scraper or knife. Drop the dumplings into the boiling soup and cook until they all to float to the surface. Continue to boil for 1 minute, then stir in the dill and serve.

Steps:

• Put the turkey carcass, quartered onions, coarsely chopped carrots and celery, smashed garlic, bay leaf, and peppercorns in a large stockpot and add enough cold water to just cover, about 2 quarts. Bring the water to a boil, and then reduce the heat to maintain a gentle simmer and cook for 1 hour. Remove from the heat and strain the solids from the broth. Pour the liquid through a fine mesh strainer and reserve; you should have about 10 to 12 cups broth.
• Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk the eggs, flour, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and some black pepper together until smooth. Add the stuffing and mix until well combined; cover and reserve.
• Wipe the stockpot clean with a paper towel. Heat the oil in the pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic and cook until soft and translucent, about 6 minutes. Add the sliced carrots and celery, thyme sprigs, and reserved broth and bring to a simmer; cook vegetables are just soft, about 10 minutes.
• Roll level tablespoons of the dumpling mixture into balls with wet hands (see note) and drop into the simmering soup; cook until dumplings float, 3-4 minutes. Gently stir in the turkey meat, corn, and season with salt and pepper, and simmer until heated through. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Combine turkey broth, turkey, onion, celery, carrots, mushrooms, corn, garlic, thyme, salt, pepper, basil, celery seed, and red pepper flakes in a 5 1/2-quart slow cooker. Cover and cook on High for 4 hours.
• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
• About 30 minutes before soup is done, mix milk and eggs together in a large bowl. Add stuffing; toss until bread soaks up the liquid. Add cranberries, onion, celery, sage, parsley, salt, and pepper; toss until well combined. Scoop dumpling mixture with a large cookie scoop and transfer stuffing balls to the prepared baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 20 minutes.
• Serve soup with stuffing dumplings.

Steps:

• Measure out 4 cups of turkey broth or leftover turkey gravy. If using gravy instead of stock, it needs to be quite thin. If the gravy was on the thick side even when it was hot last night at dinner, thin it down with a little chicken stock. If you do not have enough turkey broth or leftover turkey gravy, measure what you have and add some chicken broth until you have approximately 4 total cups of liquid. When I made it last time, I had to add nearly 1 cup of chicken broth because I only had 3 cups of leftover turkey gravy. It tasted just fine.
• In a 10" skillet with straight sides, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the scallions, peas, and carrots and cook for 2 minutes. Add the garlic and cook 1 minute longer. Add the turkey then the turkey broth/gravy/chicken broth and stir to combine. Bring to a simmer and taste for seasoning. Add salt and pepper to taste. Don't under season the broth. Once the dumplings are added, the flavors will be muted so season the broth a little more robustly than you normally would.
• While you are waiting for the broth to come to a simmer, make the dumplings by whisking together the flour, baking powder, and salt. When the broth mixture comes to a simmer and you have adjusted the seasonings, add the milk and melted butter to the flour mixture and use a spoon to stir everything together until it is just combined. Don't over mix or you'll toughen the dumplings.
• I use two soup spoons to add the dumpling dough to the broth. I scoop up some of the dough with one spoon and push it off into the broth with the other. Continue adding dough as quickly as you can - leaving a little room between dumplings, if possible. It'll be a tight squeeze to get all of the dough into the broth but it'll fit. IMMEDIATELY cover the dumplings with a tight fitting lid and cook for 20 minutes. Whatever you do, DON'T PEEK while they're cooking. The dumplings should lightly simmer while cooking. I normally reduce the heat to someplace between medium low and medium after the first 5 minutes of cooking so the liquid does not simmer too aggressively.
• After 20 minutes, take the skillet off the heat and serve piping hot. This is an EXCELLENT way to use up Thanksgiving leftovers. Delicious and easy!
• TIP: This recipe has a high ratio of dumplings to broth - which means that it is not particularly soupy when fully cooked. If you like a lot of soup with your dumplings, use the same amount of gravy base but halve the dumpling recipe.
