I created this recipe to use up left over Thanksgiving turkey, but would be just as good with chicken. The red pepper flakes and paprika add a little warmth to the mix that is perfect during the colder months! To create a more crisp dumpling, the entire pot can be put into a 350 degree oven for an additional 10 minutes, after allowing to cook on the stove top.

1. In large oven safe pot melt butter over medium heat. Add garlic, onions, rosemary, thyme, red pepper flakes, paprika and salt and pepper. Saute until the onions begin to turn translucent. Whisk in flour, creating a paste. Continue stirring until paste begins to bubble. Add chicken broth and milk. Increase to medium-high heat. Stirring constantly, bring to a rolling boil. Boil for two minutes, continuing to stir, until sauce thickens. Reduce heat to medium-low. Add in carrots, celery potatoes and chicken or turkey. Cover and let simmer for twenty minutes.
2. To make the dumplings, combine flour, baking powder and salt in a bowl. Using an electric mixer cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in milk a little at a time until all dry ingredients are mixed in.
3. Return to the stew and add the peas, stirring until mixed. Drop the dumplings into the simmering stew by the tablespoonful. The dumplings will sink slightly. Cook 8 to 10 minutes uncovered. Cover and cook for an additional 8 to 10 minutes.
4. Let sit for five minutes before serving! Enjoy!
