What are the best kinds of baked gumbo?

Sous vide gumbo, duh.

I don't understand what you mean by baked gumbo.

For the few of us older folks who hope to avoid fried foods

What the hell you been eatin' and callin' it gumbo, man?!?!

If you can't fry your gumbo, don't bother.

Go eat some quinoa and kale and leave gumbo alone.

I think the OP is inartfully asking for preferred gumbo methods other than a Prudhomme style fried chicken gumbo...I think.

Ahhh that would make sense.

you start with a roux

Gotta be talking about the roux

are you talking about a dry roux in the oven

Alton Brown does this. Sure you can find his recipe/method somewhere on the Google Machine.

I don't know exactly what you mean as you said, but I'm going to take some guesses as others have.

If you're talking about frying the poultry, you can use a rotisserie or smoked chicken rather than frying. You can also use boneless skinless chicken breasts or even white meat turkey. This can be smoked, baked or boiled (which would give you a more flavored broth-bones will provide even more flavor.). I recommend smoked meats.

You can use a chicken or turkey sausage rather than pork. Smoked is best to give some flavor.

If you're talking about the roux, you can bake the flour in the oven until brown and use that instead of oil/fat and flour. I've never made a flour only roux, so I'm not much help on that.
