Directions

  1. Combine turkey broth, turkey, onion, celery, carrots, mushrooms, corn, garlic, thyme, salt, pepper, basil, celery seed, and red pepper flakes in a 5 1/2-quart slow cooker. Cover and cook on High for 4 hours.

  2. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

  3. About 30 minutes before soup is done, mix milk and eggs together in a large bowl. Add stuffing, toss until bread soaks up the liquid. Add cranberries, onion, celery, sage, parsley, salt, and pepper, toss until well combined. Scoop dumpling mixture with a large cookie scoop and transfer stuffing balls to the prepared baking sheet.

  4. Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 20 minutes.
