Turkey Dumpling Soup
- 1 meaty leftover turkey carcass (from an 11-pound turkey)
- 6 cups chicken broth
- 6 cups water
- 2 celery ribs, cut into 1-inch slices
- 1 medium carrot, cut into 1-inch slices
- 1 tablespoon poultry seasoning
- 1 bay leaf
- 1/2 teaspoon salt

- 2 cups biscuit/baking mix
- 2/3 cup milk
- In a stock pot, combine the first nine ingredients. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 3 hours.
