Concept:
Duck fat roux
Turkey stock
Chicken and sausage gumbo

Sound better or worse than regular leftover turkey gumbo?

Serve it over a scoop of cornbread dressing, and I'm in.

Sounds like it would just taste the same, honestly. I don’t see any advantage to mixing meat flavors over sticking to one flavor. Then again, I don’t see anything wrong with it.

I’d say try it out, that’s what cooking is about.

Made one years ago for a gumbo cook-off, but used chicken, duck, turkey and sausage. I don't remember the outcome of that experiment.

Duck fat roux + turkey carcass stock is going to be damn good

I don't see an issue. I will sometimes make a roux using bacon grease, sometimes it's tallow and then the old standard of plain cooking oil.

I always add some prepared stock instead of plain water to my gumbo and it may be chicken or stock from my fried turkey carcasses if making chicken/andouille gumbo.

And if making seafood gumbo it will be shrimp stock and often oyster liquor if I have any on hand.

Homemade stocks put a lot of flavor into your food from the very start.
