Turkey Stew with Dumplings
By: Chris Dickinson
8 medium carrots, cut into 1-inch chunks
4 celery ribs, cut into 1-inch chunks
2 med. chopped onion
½ cup butter or margarine
2 can (10 ½ oz.) beef consommé
4 2/3 cups water, divided
2 tsp. Salt
¼ tsp. Pepper
3 cups cubed cooked Turkey
2 cups frozen green beans
½ cup all purpose flour
2 tsp. Worcestershire sauce

DUMPLINGS:
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
2 tsp. Baking powder
1 tsp. Salt
2 T. minced fresh parsley
1/8 tsp. Poultry seasoning
¾ cup milk
1 egg
In a large soup kettle, sauté carrots, celery and onion in butter for 10 minutes. Add consommé, 4 cups water, salt and pepper. Cover and cook over low heat for 15 minutes or until vegetables are tender. Add turkey and beans; cook for 5 minutes.

In a small bowl, combine flour, Worcestershire sauce and remaining water until smooth. Stir into turkey mixture, bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. For dumplings, combine dry ingredients in a bowl. Combine milk and egg; stir into flour mixture just until moistened. Drop by the tablespoons onto simmering stew. Cover and simmer for 10 minutes; uncover and simmer 10 minutes longer. Yield: 10-12 servings.
