Oops, I can't believe I left this out!!! Turkey Gumbo Recipe
OK, I goofed, this is the first time I have ever written my recipe for Turkey Gumbo down so as I'm cooking it today I had a niggling feeling that I perhaps I had left out some key ingredients and sure 'nough I did! The ham and sausage are missing in my previous recipe...here is the right one.
Turkey Gumbo
- 1 cup chopped onions
- 1 cup chopped green pepper
- 1 cup diced celery
- 2 carrots grated
- Olive oil for sautéing
- 2 cups chopped cooked turkey
- 1 pound Smoked sausage sliced
- 1 pound ham cubed
- 2 quarts turkey stock
- 1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning
- (salt only if you need it after you taste it)
- Hot cooked rice to serve the Gumbo over
- Hot sauce (I like Louisiana brand) as needed
Sauté the onions, peppers and celery and carrots in olive oil until tender. Add the ham and smoked sausage and cook until heated. Stir in the chopped turkey and the Cajun seasoning so all the vegetables are nicely seasoned then slowly add the stock. Bring this up to a boil and it’s ready to eat as soon as the rice is cooked. It won’t hurt it to simmer on the stove a while. If you’d like a Creole version of this just add a can of diced tomatoes with basil.
