My mom made this stew when I was young, and it was always a hit. Since it's not time-consuming to make I can fix it on a weekend for our children, who love the tender dumplings. —Becky Mohr of Appleton, Wisconsin

Turkey Dumpling Stew Recipe

Prep: 20 min. Cook: 50 min.

Yield: 6 Servings

20 50 70

Ingredients

4 bacon strips, diced
1-1/2 pounds turkey breast tenderloins, cut into 1-inch pieces
4 medium carrots, sliced
2 cups water, divided
1 can (14-1/2 ounces) reduced-sodium chicken broth
2 small onions, quartered
2 celery ribs, sliced
1/4 teaspoon dried rosemary, crushed
1 bay leaf
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 cup reduced-fat biscuit/baking mix
1/3 cup plus 1 tablespoon fat-free milk

Directions

In a Dutch oven, cook bacon over medium heat until crisp. Remove to paper towels; drain, reserving 2 teaspoons drippings.
Cook turkey in the drippings until no longer pink. Add the carrots, 1-3/4 cups of water, broth, onions, celery, rosemary and bay leaf. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 20-30 minutes or until vegetables are tender.
Combine flour and remaining water until smooth; stir into turkey mixture. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Discard bay leaf. Stir in the salt, pepper and reserved bacon.
In a large bowl, combine biscuit mix and milk. Drop batter in six mounds onto simmering stew. Cover and simmer for 15 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in a dumpling comes out clean (do not lift the cover while simmering). Yield: 6 servings.

This recipe is very tasty. I added frozen peas and corn just before finishing cooking carrots.

very good, used drums and wings to make broth, a bit more bacon grease than suggested. sprigs of fresh rosemary and tyme and gluten free flour and mix.

Excellent flavor and easy. I use the jars of real bacon and then use non-stick spray to saute the turkey.

It is healthy if you use the reduce sodium bacon. I think this is a keeper! Negetive comments should be kept to oneself. Nice people don't do that.

This is not a healthy recipe when it contains bacon
