Turkey Gumbo
From the Kitchen of Brett Broussard
Leftover turkey
1 pound smoked sausage, cut half-moon
3/4 cup canola oil
3/4 cup flour
2 1/2 gallons water or turkey stock
2 bundles green onions
1 container Guidry trinity (onion, celery, pepper)
1 bundle parsley
2 tablespoons chicken base
2 tablespoons garlic
1/4 cup Cajun seasoning
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon hot sauce
3 cups okra
2 tablespoons gumbo file
Mix flour and oil and make a roux over medium-high heat. The roux should be the color of a Hershey's specialty dark chocolate. Add Guidry's seasoning mix and cook for 3-5
minutes. Add garlic and okra and cook for an additional 2 minutes. Add water (or stock) slowly and simmer for 1 hour. Add sausage back, garlic powder and simmer for 45
minutes. Add turkey and remaining ingredients and simmer for 30 minutes.
