Turkey Gumbo Soup





3/4 cup oil


3/4 cup flour


2 large onions, chopped


1 large green pepper, chopped


3 or 4 stalks celery, chopped


1/2 pound smoked sausage, andouille or kielbasa, cut in half the long way and then chopped into bite-sized pieces the short way


Turkey broth from boiling the carcass


Okra


Leftover turkey


Some shrimp (maybe 12 ounces?)


Salt, to taste


Cayenne, to taste


2 Bay leaves


File powder


Cooked rice ( Basmati)





Combine the oil and flour in the bottom of a 5 quart dutch oven. Cook on medium, stirring constantly, until it turns the color of a chocolate bar. It's about 25 minutes.


Add the onions, bell pepper and celery. Add a pinch of salt and a dash of cayenne. Cook, stirring until the vegetables are coated with the roux and the onion starts to get translucent.


Add the sausage. Cook until the sausage starts to rend its' fat.


Add the okra and enough turkey broth to make the soup the consistency you want. You may wish to make it thinner than the final product, as you have to add the turkey and shrimp later. You can always add more broth at the end, though.


Drop in the bay leaves and adjust the seasoning. You may not need much salt, since the sausage pretty much takes care of that.


Bring it to a low boil. Turn down to a simmer and cover. Allow it to cook for a while. Maybe an hour. But if you are hungry now, just go 15 minutes.


About 10 minutes before you eat it, add the turkey and the shrimp. Adjust the broth amount and seasonings. Now put in most of the final amount of cayenne.


Serve over rice and sprinkle each serving with File powder.





You don't have to have okra in your gumbo. And you could have some tomatoes in there.
