TURKEY GUMBO RECIPE
Steps:
- Gather the ingredients.
- Put the bacon in a large skillet and place the skillet over medium heat. Cook until the bacon has rendered its fat. With a slotted spoon, remove the bacon pieces to paper towels to drain. You should have about 1/4 to 1/3 cup of drippings left in the pan. Refrigerate the crumbled bacon to use as a garnish or save it for another use.
- Remove 2 tablespoons of oil from the 3/4 cup and set it aside. Add the remaining oil-about 2/3 cup-to the bacon drippings. Add the flour to the bacon drippings and oil mixture and cook over medium heat, constantly stirring, for about 25 to 30 minutes, or until the roux is the color of milk chocolate. Remove the roux from the heat and set it aside.
- Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil in a large Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the smoked sausage and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring frequently.
- Add the onions, celery, green and red bell pepper, and the white and light green parts of the green onions to the sausage; continue to cook for about 4 minutes, or until the vegetables are soft. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute longer.
- To the vegetables and sausage, add the reserved roux; stir to combine.
- Gradually add 2 cups the chicken stock to the pot a little at a time, stirring constantly. Add the chopped turkey, Worcestershire sauce, bay leaves, salt, Cajun seasoning, thyme, and black pepper. Bring to a boil and then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 1 1/2 hours, stirring occasionally. If too thick, add more stock in small amounts.
- Stir the parsley and chopped green onions (dark green parts) into the gumbo and serve it over hot steamed rice.
- Garnish the turkey gumbo with extra green onions, parsley, and the crumbled cooked bacon, if desired.

Steps:
- Stir all the spices together in a small bowl. Set aside.
- In a Dutch oven or large cast iron pot, heat oil over medium heat.
- Whisk the flour into the oil until incorporated and smooth. The roux will resemble a thin cake batter. Stir continuously to prevent from burning, 20 to 25 minutes, until roux takes on a deep brown color. You may need to lower the heat to medium low toward the end.
- Reduce the heat to medium low. Add the onions, stirring them into the roux with a wooden spoon until the roux is a glossy dark brown.
- Add celery, bell pepper, garlic, and gumbo spice blend. Stir for a minute before adding stock, beer, rosemary, and sage sprigs. Bring to a light boil, then reduce the heat back to medium-low and simmer for 30 minutes.
- Add the andouille, turkey, tomatoes, okra, and liquid smoke. Simmer for another 30 minutes.
- Remove the rosemary and sage sprigs. Add Worcestershire, filé, and salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve gumbo with rice or leftover mashed potatoes and garnish with chopped sage. This is even better the next day.

Steps:
- In a food processor, combine 1/4 cup chopped celery, 1/4 cup chopped onion, and 1/4 cup chopped green bell pepper. Process until smooth.
- In a small bowl, combine 1/2 cup of the canola oil with the olive oil and whisk to combine. Transfer to a heavy medium saucepan or Dutch oven, add the flour, and place over moderate heat. Cook the mixture, stirring slowly and constantly, until the roux is dark brown, 20 to 25 minutes. Add the puréed vegetables, and stir to combine. Cover and reserve.
- In a heavy large pot over moderate heat, warm the remaining 1/4 cup canola oil. Add the andouille sausage and sauté, stirring occasionally, until browned on all sides, 6 to 8 minutes. Add the red bell pepper, along with the remaining green bell pepper, and sauté, stirring occasionally, until just soft and brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the remaining celery and onions, along with the garlic, and sauté, stirring occasionally, until the onions are softened, 3 to 4 minutes. Add 8 cups of chicken stock, along with the thyme, cayenne pepper, hot sauce, Worcestershire sauce, and the reserved roux, whisking as needed to dissolve the roux in the liquid.
- Bring the gumbo to a boil, stirring frequently, then reduce the heat to low, season the gumbo with salt and pepper, and simmer, stirring frequently, until thickened, about 15 minutes. (The gumbo should have the consistency of chowder. If it thickens too much as it simmers, add additional stock; if it's too thin, in a small bowl, stir together 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour and 3 tablespoons canola oil and gradually add this mixture to the gumbo, simmering the mixture for a few minutes between additions, until the desired consistency is reached.) Add the turkey meat and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the turkey is heated through, about 5 minutes. Serve hot. DO AHEAD: The gumbo can be prepared ahead and kept, covered in the refrigerator, up to 3 days, or frozen, in an airtight container, up to 3 months. To reheat: Warm the gumbo in a heavy pot over moderate heat, adding additional chicken stock as needed to adjust the consistency.
