Tomorrow should be a good day

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.

Me too Darla.

All I could do yesterday.



Too tired from a big house, full of company to make gumbo yesterday or today.

When I recover, it will look something like this.

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.

Can someone provide their recipe? Surprisingly, I didn't see a really receipe in the links on here.

Making a turkey stock now.

Looking to try a different receipe. Would prefer not to have a dark roux.

TIA.

I think most just use turkey exactly how they would chicken, so you would use your go-to chicken and andouille gumbo recipe.

I make it exactly the same way I make chicken and sausage gumbo when I'm not making fried chicken gumbo. I just sub turkey for the chicken, whether it's baked/roasted turkey or smoked turkey.

That was my plan. Is your recipe in the TD cookbook?

I'm sorry it's not. I don't really follow measurements at this point. I just make it for the most part.

I think there are other gumbo recipes there, though.

However, Paul Prudhomme's recipe for fried chicken gumbo is a good guide as far as measurements and ingredients. Just skip the part about frying the chicken. I would use more sausage than he does because I like a lot of sausage. Use stock rather than water.

This is the original recipe from his first cookbook before he used all the Magic seasonings for everything.

Great. Hope it turns out well! Gumbo doesn't have to have exact measurements other than a good roux which isn't necessarily exact. I always make a little more than I think I need.

So, you're making stew?
