Smoked Turkey Dumpling Soup, man, what a comfort food this was to make! I love making comfort food on my smoker and from leftover smoked meat. The best part about a pellet grill is it can work just like a conventional oven as well for making food, but with the bonus of smoke flavoring.

I love this Enamel Dutch oven; it works amazingly well on the smoker and comes clean after being smoked too. (Yes, the old lady threatened me if I messed up her dutch oven) I love that Uno Casa has several options when it comes to their cast iron options to purchase.

How To Make Smoked Turkey Dumpling Soup:
Chop and prepare all your vegetables.
Start to layer the vegetables into your dutch oven. I tend always to drop the potatoes and the carrots into the bottom of the dutch oven. That way, they are closer to the heat source to ensure they cook thoroughly.
Add your leftover smoked turkey on top of the vegetables.
Next, add the minced garlic and seasonings to the top of your turkey.
*You will not add the heavy whipping cream or biscuits until the end*
Pour in your chicken broth and give everything a good stir.
Get your smoker rolling smoke. I started mine at 250 degrees before putting the dutch oven on the smoker.

I smoked this soup my Pit Boss Pro 1100, which is my favorite way to cook low and slow! I picked up my Pit Boss Grill at Lowes, but Walmart and Amazon carry other Pit Boss options or the Pitboss website. I love the cost of them vs. other pellet smokers, plus it hasn’t disappointed me yet.
I love that I can set it at 225 with smoke and run inside and take a shower or prep sides, and it just cooks my meat with a fantastic smoke flavor! I had compared it to other pellet grills like a Traeger on the market, but I have been happy with my choice.
Smoke the soup at 250 degrees for 1 1/2 hours and then turn the smoker up to 300.
I smoked the soup for 2 1/2 hours at 300 degrees and then turned it up to 350 degrees.
Pour your cream into the dutch oven and stir it up. You can add more broth if too much has cooked off.
While your smoker is coming up to 350 degrees cut your biscuits into quarters.
Once your smoker reaches 350 degrees you will drop the quartered biscuits into the soup.
Allow to cook for about 10 minutes and then put the lid on the dutch oven.
Cook with the lid on for about another 10-15 minutes until the biscuits turn golden.
Remove and serve!

Smoked Turkey Recipes:
A dry rub works amazingly well on turkey, but doing a brine with the dry rub adds more flavor. There is no wrong way to smoke a turkey. Now I buy extras during the holidays, so I have extra turkeys to smoke later in the year!
