Ingredients

• 1 roasting chicken, 5 pounds, cut up (or 3 turkey legs, skinned, boned and chopped)
• 6 cups water
• 1/2 cup celery, diced
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon Mrs. Dash® seasoning blend
• 3 cups leached potatoes, peeled and sliced 1/4” thick
• 1 cup onion, sliced
• 1 cup unsifted all-purpose white flour
• 1 tablespoon butter, softened
• 1 egg, slightly beaten

Helpful hints

• For convenience, you can use a package of prepared dumpling noodles like Mary B’s® brand, which can be found in the frozen food section of your grocery store.
• If you are on a protein-modified diet, select a smaller 2.5-pound chicken to reduce protein to 21 grams per serving.
