Three variations on chicken and dumplings
Jan. 5th, 2014 08:14 pmIn which I had several sick people with varying dietary restrictions to feed, and leftovers from a 16.5-pound roast turkey (among other things) with which to feed them.
The largest ingredient was the broth and leftover turkey -- it turns out that one can make an astounding amount of broth from this quantity of turkey carcass and leftover bits. About a gallon and a half, I would guess. In addition to the broth, we had the two drumsticks and a 6-cup-sized Pyrex bowlful of leftover carved bits, all of which I shredded into bite-sized or smaller bits.
( Basic Turkey and Dumplings )
( Vegetarian Carrots and Dumplings )
( Gluten/Dairy-Free Turkey and Dumplings )
This was a general success, but it also dirties all the dishes....
