1 tablespoon olive oil
1 large onion, sliced
4 stalks of celery, with leaves, diced
1 bay leaf
5 cloves of garlic, chopped
3½ tablespoons gluten-free all-purpose flour
8 ounces cooked turkey breast, bone in, or leftover turkey pieces with bones
4 cups of turkey or chicken stock
¼ teaspoon dried sage or 1 tablespoon fresh
½ teaspoon dried thyme or 2 tablespoons fresh
¾ teaspoon dried rosemary or 1 tablespoon fresh
4 cups cooked brown jasmine rice
2 cups Pamela’s Baking & Pancake mix or Bob’s Red Mill Gluten-Free Pancake Mix
¼ teaspoon dried thyme or 1 tablespoon fresh, chopped
½ teaspoon dried parsley
dash of ground nutmeg
½ teaspoon of kosher salt
½ cup plain nondairy milk soured with 1 teaspoon of lemon juice to make buttermilk
1. Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onions, celery, bay leaf, garlic, flour, and turkey, including bones. Cook until vegetables and meat are browned.
2. Pour in stock and let simmer for an hour.
3. Season with sage, thyme, and rosemary and continue to simmer for an additional 30 minutes. Remove bay leaf and remove turkey from bones. Discard bones and cut turkey into bite-size pieces.
4. Meanwhile, prepare dumplings. In a large bowl, combine all dry ingredients. Slowly add buttermilk and mix lightly.
5. Bring soup to a boil. Drop heaping teaspoons of dumpling mixture into boiling soup. Cook for 10 to 15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into a dumpling comes out clean. If the soup is too thick, add more stock or water. Serve over rice.
