Made stock yesterday, but won’t make turkey gumbo till next week, I think. I used some of the stock in a small batch of turkey noodle soup.

I made stock with the smoked turkey carcass. Gumbo had wild turkey breast, fried chicken, Rabideaux’s, and oysters. It was fine.

Had to smoke another turkey to have enough meat for my gumbo.

Family and son's friends said best ever and amazing. It was damn good.

Will post a pic of the roux.

Mine turned out to be the best gumbo I have ever made. My turkey was smoked and injected. I think that was key. I brought the carcass and a few of the in tact parts to a boil and it simmered all afternoon. Added the white meat during the last 30 minutes.

Cooked mine on Friday. Snapped a few pics and am finally getting here to post them. I bought a quarter turkey to get meat to make sure there would be enough for the gumbo, but even with that I’m lacking enough. My smoked turkey was demolished on Thursday. Still it came out killer. I like a very dark roux, and it took me about 40 minutes to get it there.


My smoked turkey and andouille gumbo. I use the carcass for stock, and I simmer it down with some allspice, cloves, garlic, onion, salt and peppercorns. I do grate some nutmeg on the final product when I add my file. I love the way those fall spices pair with turkey.
