And thanks Alesia.. your gumbo is what sparked mine.. and emans recipe of course!Looks fantastic!!! I just made my first Gumbo a couple weeks ago. And yes it's for eating anytime of the day IMHO!
Thanks Mick.Great post,looks brilliant.:drool I have had a few discussions about Gumbo with Foamheart.Love the idea of authentic regional food. My late parents both used to sing the Hank Williams song" Jambalaya,catfish pie ,seafood gumbo.."which is only of interest because it was in small town Australia in the 60s & 70s. :biggrin:
Raised in Louisiana I learned to love gumbo at an early age. Turkey gumbo is second only to seafood gumbo in my estimation. Never use okra in mine but always make a roux. Always make mine a light golden brown. Thickens well without a "burned" flavor. Simmering it slowly is the key, with lots of stirring. I use a metal spatula to stir it almost continually so it browns evenly. I'm looking forward to smoking a turkey this year. Have to make sure to get one big enough to have plenty leftovers for gumbo the day after.:grilling_smilie:
