re: My first attempt at homemade gumbo (w/ pics)

Made a gumbo the weekend after thanksgiving.. Boiled the turkey carcass and made turkey broth.. Used a homemade roux that we made from rendered free-range chicken fat.. (Interesting, flavorful method.. I suggest trying it if you haven't before.) The base was nice and thick.
The meat was rooster, some leftover turkey and smoked pork sausage from the Cajun heartland..

Was delicious.
