How To Make Turkey and Sausage Gumbo

Looking for a meal made for leftover Thanksgiving Turkey? Why not make a Turkey & Sausage Gumbo Recipe? I show you how easy and tasty a Turkey gumbo can be. I throw in some pork and pecan smoked sausage along with the turkey.

Turkey Gumbo Recipe

3 Tbsp of jarred roux

3) Stir in jarred roux and let heat for a minute.
4) Add minced garlic and the Thyme sprig and stir roux for another minute.

7) Bring gumbo up to a boil. Turn heat down to simmer, then add salt, pepper, and sausage.
8) Cover gumbo and let simmer 30 minutes.
