Bring to a simmer and skim the oil on top.
Guess you could also simmer for a while to thicken it up also.
Of course the longer you simmer the more fat will render from your sausage so the more oil you'll have to skim and if you go too long the sausage seems to dry out some.

This is a reason why andouille is preferred in gumbos. It’s a lean sausage.

I used to worry about this but now I realize that’s how the flavor of the sausage explodes into the gumbo. Not a big deal to me to have juicy sausage in a gumbo
