Monday night , the weather is cold and it's time to take the Turkey carcass and leftover meat out the freezer and make Turkey Gumbo with smoked Andouille Sausage.
The Easy Recipe :
1 box Kary's Seasoned Gumbo Mix
All the leftover turkey you have put away for gumbo
Turkey carcass and pieces still on the bone , legs, wings , back , thighs etc.
Chop up one large onion
Slice up a link of smoked Andouille Sausage or whatever you like , deer sausage is good .
4 cups Chicken Stock , 32oz. box . You can make Turkey stock with turkey carcass and bones if you want to but this is easy recipe ...ergo the box of stock.
In the bottom of a heavy gumbo pot brown the sliced Andouille on high heat , You may have to add a little oil or lard if the sausage is lean .
When you have some oil /grease in the pot and brown bits of goodness are sticking to the bottom... add chopped onions (1 stalk of celery and 1 bell pepper are optional)
Cook unions until transparent.
Add package of Kary's Gumbo mix and with a whisk start mixing dry mix into stock adding a little at a time... I find it mixes better by slowly adding the liquid .
Add and blend 4 cups stock and 4 cups water = 8 cups liquid total .
Bring to a boil and add turkey pieces on bones ...dark meat , reserve white meat (if any is left) to add at end so it doesn't get over cooked .
If you like okra...some of us do , add 4-6 cups fresh or frozen okra to pot .
Bring pot to a boil and lower heat to medium-high .
Simmer uncovered for 40 minutes ... that's all it takes !
I take my gumbo with Potato Salad but that's just old school Cajun eating...
Do be sure to have some good French bread and butter to eat with the Turkey Gumbo!

The truth is I can't make gumbo from scratch that taste better than this ...
