Thanksgiving Edition Gumbo

There is going to be plently of leftover turkey at my house. I made a gumbo using it last year, and it worked out nicely. However, I completely forgot how I did it.
How many of you have used leftover turkey meat for your gumbos?
Any suggestions for a recipe using turkey and deer sausage? Will chicken broth (low sodium) work, since the turkey is already cooked?
If you have experience with this type of gumbo, could you elaborate on your recipe/methods? Thanks!

Why use chicken broth when you can make a nice stock from the turkey bones?
Otherwise, the turkey and smoked deer sausage would be just fine in a gumbo.

I do this every year. Stick the turkey in a pot for a couple of hours, take it out, let the carcass cool then pick the rest of the meat off the bone. Strain the broth and boom. Free (cost and sodium) turkey broth.
And I use venison sausage in my gumbo all the time. Very good.

Actually, you can add much more flavor than this.
Roast your bones with some carrots and rough cut onion until it's all nice and carmelized, then deglaze and scrape the roasting pan and add the contents to a stock pot and cover with water. Bring that to a boil and add some peppercorns, bay leaves and celery. Scrape the bottom of the pot and get all the goodies mingling with the water. Add more water to your desired level and simmer for several hours until it's reduced as you'd like. MUCH more flavor than a simple broth and a necessity for a gumbo in my opinion.
