This was a very unique and different way to use up all the leftovers from a turkey dinner. I pretty much went by the recipe, changing a few little things here and there. I did add in some egg noodles. I didn't have much cranberry sauce, but I could tell that it sweetened the broth a bit. I had extra turkey stock that I didn't use in the soup, so I froze a couple quarts to save for later. This really made some rich turkey stock. Thanks for this great idea! I may make again sometime if I have a bunch of leftovers to use up at the last minute.

I found some smoked turkey legs at the store. It is a rainy, dreary day, this soup intrigued me, I had all the ingreds. I did forget to add the egg whites to the stuffing but I had used an ice cream scoop so they held up well. My family is not a cranberry fan, so I left that out. 2 of my kids are Gobbling it up as I type! Thanksgiving in March!! Thank you for sharing Michelle

I made a half portion of this and it was excellent. I did not even brown the turkey bones, just made a stock the day before. Made my own poultry seasoning blend from a recipe here. I didn't have peas, turnips or green beans and it was still wonderful. I did not add the cranberry either. This was a great way to use turkey day leftovers and the dumplings held up sitting in the soup in the fridge for 2 days! Excellent! A new favorite in our house.

Great soup, especially the dumplings. They don't get soggy if you add them just before serving. Even soggy they are great though. Would've given it a 5 except for the cranberry - way too sweet. We prefer a more savory flavor. Kudos for a great, flexible, throw in whatever you've got recipe.

Delicious, and such a great use for leftovers! I put in some leftover corn casserole and the gravy. The dumplings are awesome!

This was a unique and easy way to use turkey leftovers and the rest of the dinner too! I made a few substitutions: we replaced the cranberry jelly with leftover candied yams (pecans and all!), and rolled the dumplings in cornmeal after the egg for a bit of a crunch (it also helped them stick better). When serving, we put the dumpling at the bottom of the bowl and poured the soup on top. I love the versatility of this dish!

We skipped browning the dumplings and they were still perfect. Great use of leftovers. Everyone loved it!

I have to tell you that this is a fail proof recipe. Delicious. My neighbors came back for thirds. We froze half of it. It's that good! It's in the arsenal!

This is great! Of course, soup is one of those things everyone does different, so I did change some stuff. Mainly, just used more carrot, rutabaga, and peas instead of the green beans and poultry seasoning. I added some leftover gravy to the broth and it was so flavorful I didn't even need to use bouillon, just some salt. Lastly, the stuffing balls are time consuming, but worth it. I thought they might be weird, but not at all. If you take a teaspoon and squish the stuffing into it against the side of the bowl, it's easier and quicker to make them nice and smooth so they are easier to brown, and stay together better. Oh, and I didn't find that the can of cranberry added much to it, either way. Would probly skip that next time.
