HEARTY TURKEY STEW WITH VEGETABLES

Steps:

• Melt the butter in a pot over medium heat. Place onions in the pot and cook until tender. Stir in celery and carrots, and cook until tender. Stir in the potatoes and flour. Pour in the chicken stock, and season soup with marjoram. Place turkey in the pot, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer 30 minutes.
• Mix the green bell pepper into the soup, and continue cooking 10 minutes, until pepper is tender.

CREAMY TURKEY STEW

Steps:

• Heat oil and butter in a large Dutch oven over medium high heat; cook and stir potatoes, onion, carrots, celery, garlic, and rosemary until onion is translucent, about 10 minutes.
• Dust turkey with flour; stir into vegetable mixture. Stir chicken stock, mushrooms, poultry seasoning, salt, and pepper into turkey mixture; bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer until vegetables are tender, about 20 minutes. Remove from heat; whisk cream into soup.

TURKEY STEW

Steps:

• Dissolve the bouillon in the hot water to make a broth; set aside.
• Place the turkey meat, turkey bone, all the vegetables, flour, both rices, spices and chicken broth in a large kettle or Dutch oven
• Add as much of the 4 cups water as you prefer for desired consistency. Season with salt and pepper.
• Simmer over low heat for 30 to 45 minutes, or until the carrots and celery are tender and the turkey meat is heated through.
• Remove the turkey bone before serving stew.
• NOTE - you can easily use pasta in place of the rice. Just omit both the white and wild rices, and add about 1 cup uncooked egg noodles (or other pasta).
• TIP - I like to use a combination of white and dark meat when making this turkey stew, as I think it produces a much tastier stew. But you could easily use only white or only dark meat, to suit your taste buds.
• TIP - if you're watching your sodium intake, you can easily omit the chicken buillon cube in hot water and replace it with 1 cup of low-sodium canned chicken broth. For our health, we should consider this option but we are die-hard fans of this recipe and haven't been able to bring ourselves to do that -- at least not yet!

TURKEY DUMPLING STEW

Steps:

• Make the stock: Pull the turkey carcass apart into smaller pieces; set the meat aside. Put the bones in a large, deep pot and add cold water to cover, 4 to 5 quarts. Add the onion, celery, the 3 quartered carrots and the bay leaf. Tie the parsley and thyme together with twine and add to the pot, then cover and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Uncover, reduce the heat to medium low and cook 3 to 4 hours. Remove the bones and vegetables with a skimmer and discard, then strain the stock though a fine-mesh strainer. Return the stock to the pot and simmer over medium-high heat until reduced by half, 30 to 40 minutes (you'll have about 8 cups stock).
• About 45 minutes before serving, prepare the Dumplings. Keep covered with plastic wrap while you make the stew.
• Make the stew: Melt the butter in a large, wide pot over medium heat. Add the shallots and cook until soft, about 3 minutes. Add the flour and cook, stirring, 30 seconds. Gradually add the stock, stirring, and bring to a simmer. Season with salt and pepper. Add the sliced carrots and parsnips, cover and cook 5 minutes.
• Stir in the turkey meat, lemon juice and green beans. Add the Dumplings in a single layer (leave as squares or pat into rounds). Cover and simmer until the Dumplings are cooked through, about 20 minutes. Ladle into bowls; top with chives.
• Whisk the flour, herb mixture, baking powder, baking soda, salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Cut in the butter with a pastry blender until sandy. Stir in the buttermilk.
