Not interested in driving far but I am going to make gumbo with the left over turkey I smoked. I usually get it from out of town but I don't have time. Any suggestions would be appreciated...

I find Andouille to be too greasy and it really makes the gumbo too greasy so I spend a lot of time skimming off the fat. If you like deer sausage then that is a great choice as it is really lean. Otherwise I just buy whatever brand of pork/beef sausage (Richards?) but not Andouille.

I also like Andouille.

Fortunately for me I live close to a grocery store that makes excellent homemade sausage and Andouile.

Brown it first and discard the fat. Make your stock by roasting the bones. Zero fat to skim. If you boil the chicken carcass, you are making broth, not stock.

I've incorporated your roasted bones into my gumbo stock method and I think it adds richness, but the rest of the carcass adds so much flavor IMO. Reducing it for a couple of hours produces a stock, not a broth. I don't mind skimming some fat while I drink a beer or two.

Recently(due to recommendations here) went to Veron's Supermarket in Lutcher. Their smoked hot & mild smoked pork sausage is very very good.

Now you gone and done it.

GUMBO FIGHT!

I don't know what the rest of these people who have one functioning taste bud say, but Richard's pork sausage is what you want.

Were you the one who had the 90 lb order they mentioned on Facebook?
