Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 4 cups leftover stuffing
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup flour

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: Add the leftover stuffing, eggs, and flour to a large mixing bowl. Use a rubber spatula or wooden spoon to combine the ingredients until the mixture is slightly sticky. If the mixture feels too wet, add extra flour a little at a time until it reaches a workable consistency.
  2. Form Dumplings: Shape the stuffing mixture into balls approximately 1 to 1½ inches in diameter, ensuring they hold together well for cooking.
  3. Cook Dumplings: Drop the formed dumplings gently into a pot of hot turkey or vegetable soup. Cover the pot with a lid.
  4. Simmer: Allow the dumplings to cook by simmering over medium to medium-high heat for about 20 minutes, until they are cooked through and tender.
  5. Serve: Once cooked, serve the dumplings hot within the soup to enjoy a comforting, hearty meal.

Notes

  • Adjust flour quantity based on the moisture level of your stuffing to prevent dumplings from falling apart.
  • Use turkey or vegetable soup as a flavorful cooking medium—other soups can work as well depending on preference.
  • Leftover stuffing with a variety of herbs and vegetables works best for flavorful dumplings.
  • This recipe is a great way to reduce food waste by repurposing holiday leftovers.
  • For a gluten-free option, substitute regular flour with a gluten-free flour blend.
