Save the turkey carcass for thanksgiving and all the aromatics you stuff it with, then use those for your stock and use the meat from the turkey for the gumbo.
Sometimes i’ll Fry a turkey just for that. It’s delicious.
100% doing this

Exactly. You can’t rush a roux

Good point. And look, cooking is very personal and unique. What works best for me doesn't mean it works best for everyone else. Everything I've done, it's been through trial and error. And I never use a recipe, so the older I get, the less confident I am in the final product because now that the kids are moved out, I don't cook as often. It's amazing how hard it is to cook the same thing when you don't practice regularly.
My boy helped me make the gumbo the other day. Helped with the browning, helped make the roux. He was so excited. It made me so happy to have him there and teaching him, passing on the “secrets” that were passed on to me from the old men. Made me feel a little old too, but I guess i’m Not young anymore. It was special. Gumbo came out awesome too.

My dad used bones in gumbo. I hate bones in gumbo.
That's why I started boiling the chicken to debone. But you don't want to boil the chicken to long, as it will get mushy. So I boil it just so that it starts to get white to the bone, then immediately pull it out, let it cool a bit, and debone. A lot of the chicken is still stuck on the bones.
Then, throw that back into the boiling water for as long as you want, but I usually do about 30 minutes. By that time, everything has cooked out and off of the bone, leaving bits of chicken floating, and a nice, thick, yellow stock. Pick out the bones, and you got a very tasty stock. Make soup the same way.
While that's boiling, I'm working on the roux and rest of the gumbo preparation, so it's not holding anything up.

Make your stock in an Instant Pot and the flavors are concentrated in even less time.

I’ve notice one thing about the IP, things seem to taste a little different. Yesterday, I did my potato’s in the IP for some potato salad and I found that they were way more flavorful than when boiled.

Nope, just smiling and dialing.
