Turkey Dumplings Recipe ingredients

To prepare this Turkey Dumplings Recipe, first this is an old-fashioned New England dish, much esteemed by our Puritan forefathers. Make a rich shortcake dough, rolling it out on the bread board, and cut into circular pieces, about four inches in diameter; spread each piece generously with butter, and place in the center of each a tablespoon of turkey prepared as follows: chop a cup of cold turkey, not too fine; add a tablespoon of the dressing, and a stalk of minced celery, and mix well, moistening with a little giblet gravy. Fold the paste over, lapping the edges; and form into balls with the hands; arrange in a deep baking dish, and bake twenty minutes in a quick oven. Serve the dumplings with a bechamel sauce.
