Ingredients

• 4 cups cooked turkey, shredded
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 onion, diced
• 2 carrots, diced
• 2 celery stalks, diced
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 8 cups turkey or chicken broth
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon dried sage
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 eggs
• 2 cups leftover stuffing
• Oil for frying

Directions

1. In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
2. Add the diced onion, carrots, celery, and minced garlic to the pot. Cook until the vegetables are tender, about 5 minutes.
3. Add the shredded turkey, turkey or chicken broth, dried thyme, dried sage, salt, and pepper to the pot. Bring the soup to a simmer and let it cook for 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
4. While the soup is simmering, prepare the deep fried stuffing balls. In a medium bowl, mix together the all-purpose flour, eggs, and leftover stuffing until well combined.
5. Heat oil in a deep fryer or a large pot until it reaches 375°F (190°C).
6. Using a small cookie scoop or tablespoon, form the stuffing mixture into small balls and carefully drop them into the hot oil. Fry until golden brown and crispy, about 4-5 minutes. Remove the stuffing balls from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
7. Once the soup has finished simmering, taste and adjust the seasoning if needed.
8. Serve the delicious turkey soup in bowls and garnish with a few deep fried stuffing balls on top. Enjoy!
