Thanksgiving Leftovers: Turkey Gumbo

Thanks for the great leftover ideas (I posted a link to this page on my blog, The Restaurant Guru )! I'm going to try the gumbo this weekend--looks delicious and it might just help keep me warm. :)

This recipe is an Emeril rip off...even the ingredient list is the same!

I was fortunate enough to experience Sara's turkey gumbo first hand when she was in Wisconsin in November. It was amazing! The amount of time, energy and love that went into that gumbo was apparent when looking around the room full of people happily devouring it. Sara's an artist with food!

There's nothing better than turkey andouille gumbo...and I second your recommendation of Jacob's andouille. It's excellent. I'm lucky to live close enough not to have to import it...it MAKES a gumbo

I made this tonight with the stock I did from my smoked turkey (and using the smoked turkey remains and turkey anodouille) and it was fantastic. Thanks so much for the recipe!

The feather, much like the baby in a king cake, is a much desired prize. Were you on top of things you would have felt the need to supply the gumbo at the next party in the same way that the baby biter gets to bring the next King Cake during the Mardi Gras season.

And as far as the next pot of duck gumbo goes, it's looking kind of rough right now in the Delta. It needs to get cold up in your homeland before the ducks start to appear down here and right now there aren't many on the ponds or circling the holes in the woods. It's a been a very slow first weekend of duck season. Hopefully it will get cold up North sooner rather than later.

sara learned well in her 7 years in south louisiana, this is indeed a traditional cajun recipe. i've grown weary of folks calling a dish "cajun" just because they tossed some red pepper or hot sauce into a dish, the recipe from sara is the real thing.

miachef, we eat potato salad as a side dish with gumbo but if putting it in the gumbo tastes good to you...enjoy it.

we call roux "cajun napalm" and if you get it on your skin you'll be very uhappy, also, if you begin to get dark specs in the roux, dump it out and start over again, flour and oil are cheap.

I had gumbo this Thanksgiving too but a traditional seafood gumbo. Using the turkey is a great idea that I may suggest we try next year! Oh, and the potato salad IN the gumbo works better than anyone imagined when told by the hostess that "Cajuns eat it that way."

After cooking for two days straight prior to Thanksgiving, I assumed I would take a few days to recuperate...but when I saw this turkey gumbo recipe I couldn't resist. It's already in the works and smells wonderful. Thanks!

Hey Sara,

Sounds like you had a wonderful early Thanksgiving.

We ended up at a friend's house where there was also turkey and duck gumbo. He simmered the bones for three days (last Saturday he had his annual "critter dinner," so there were lots of leftovers). Honestly, I'm in favor of skipping the turkey and sending it straight to the gumbo pot. It's better that way.
