Instructions

Melt butter in a large pot over medium heat, then add in the onion, celery, carrot, and garlic. Sauté for 3-5 minutes or until tender.
Pour in the chicken broth and add in the bayleaf and dried thyme. Stir then reduce heat to low and leave to simmer while you prepare the dumplings.
Sift the flour, cornmeal, baking powder, and salt into a large bowl. Mix together before pouring in the half-and-half then mixing until a dough forms.
Roll the dough out onto a floured surface into a ¼-inch thick sheet. Slice the dough into small even-sized squared to create the dumplings.
Gently drop dumplings into the simmering broth, a few at a time, and cook until tender – about 8 minutes. Add in the cooked turkey, give everything a stir then remove from heat and serve immediately.
