Anyone familiar with cooking a turkey gumbo with the turkey remains?
Looking to do it this year. Wanting to know how long y'all boil the carcass?
Any other tips?

Made one yesterday. Boiled it about two hours. Took all meat off the bone and threw the carcass away. Used the stock. Came out great

Til it falls off the bone. Normally about 2 hours. Debone, add onions, sausage, or whatever you like in gumbo. Enjoy

This. It could be done much easier by buying three quarts of chicken stock. But there is a lot more pride, tradition and taste involved with this method.
My uncle taught me about this years ago. And I love doing it,

Started it last night, just ate the 1st bowl an hour ago.
Just boil it for 2 hours or so. Doesnt take that long to get the broth, but you want the meat to fall off.
Use the turkey wings, gives off a darker color and better flavor. And use dark meat in the gumbo.
Other than that, just do it the same as any other gumbo.

Questions.
I have the runs and grease from when the Turkey was baking. Do I use that when the carcass is biking in water as well?
So do I make a regular roux, then use the turkey broth stuff as i would normally. He chicken broth or water?
I would google, but want TDs advise,

Heck yeah. Throw that in also. When I do it I go light on roux or no roux. Just personal preference. I like to taste the turkey. You can make the roux in a separate pot and add how much you like.

Make 3 every year
Boil 2 hours
Let sit for 1 remove pieces strain stock
Be sure to cut long pieces of meat so they don't get stringy in gumbo

As much as I like turkey, turkey and sausage gumbo is one of my favorite parts of Thanksgiving. Chicken just lacks the richness. I always make a dark chocolate roux, which stands up well with turkey and sausage.
