Got the stock pot going with the turkey carcass simmering for about 3 hours now.

Anyone have any tips for the gumbo?

Made the stock last night. Cooled it overnight and got the gumbo simmering now. Had to supplement some sausage in there because the turkey was demolished.

My mom bought a turkey roulade to cook this year instead of a standard bird, so no carcass.

Do it every year. Cooked down the carcass yesterday and finished the gumbo tonight. Neighbors dropped off a smoked breast, so I'm sharing with several neighbors this weekend.

Made my stock Thursday while we were eating. Cooled overnight and whipped up a damn fine turkey andouille gumbo yesterday.

I have 2 carcasses going in a stock pot mid morning, after they spend about an hour in the oven. Got a couple pounds of deboned turkey, some Bailey's andouille and a $35 quart of oysters too.

I used the pressure cooker (Instant pot) to make stock with the turkey and the duck carcasses. Chicken thighs + sausage =
Tur-duck-en gumbo!

Made stock yesterday am... gumbo in the afternoon. We order a smoked turkey from Greensburg in Tyler every Thanksgiving - best turkey Ive ever had.... and they make an awesome smoked stock.

Cooked my bones all day yesterday, soup going on today.

It's a soup/stew and not a gumbo - the residual flavor of the allspice used in my brine prevents me from calling it "gumbo."

Just a suggestion for those who haven't made stock yet.......

Pick as much meat off the carcass before tossing it in the stock pot and roast the bones at a low temp in the oven. This will produce a richer and darker stock for a delicious gumbo.

We used to get one every year, but they've gotten so expensive we had to quit. $100 for a 15-16lb bird is a high cost. They are pretty amazing though
