2 tablespoons turkey fat or unsalted butter 1 small onion, minced 9 cups turkey stock salt and freshly ground white pepper 1/2 teaspoon thyme pinch of freshly grated nutmeg 1 cup all purpose flour 2 eggs Directions: In a large saucepan, melt the turkey fat. Add the onion and cook over moderate heat until softened, about 3 minutes. Stir in 8 cups of the turkey stock and bring to a simmer. Season with salt and white pepper to taste. Meanwhile, in a medium saucepan, combine the remaining 1 cup stock with the thyme, nutmeg, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a pinch of white pepper. Bring to a boil over high heat. Remove from the heat and beat in the flour until thoroughly blended. Let the mixture cool slightly, then beat in the eggs, one at a time. Drop tablespoons of the dumpling mixture into the simmering soup and cook until dumplings begin to firm, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat, cover the saucepan and set aside to steam the dumplings for 3 minutes before serving. Serves 6.
