Step-by-Step Instructions
- In a large stockpot, combine the meaty leftover turkey carcass, chicken broth, and water. Add chopped celery, carrot, poultry seasoning, bay leaf, salt, and pepper. Bring to a vigorous boil, then simmer for 3 hours.
- Remove the turkey carcass, cool slightly, shred the turkey meat, and set aside 4 cups for the soup.
- Strain the broth through a fine mesh sieve, discarding the cooked vegetables and bay leaf. Return the broth to the stockpot.
- Add the chopped onion, celery, carrot, and green beans to the strained broth. Bring to a boil and simmer for 10 minutes until the vegetables are tender.
- Stir in the frozen corn, peas, and reserved shredded turkey. Bring back to a gentle boil for 5 minutes.
- In a separate bowl, mix the biscuit mix with milk until just combined. Drop spoonfuls into the simmering broth and cover for 10 minutes without lifting the lid.
- Check the dumplings for doneness, then ladle the soup into bowls and serve.
