The ONLY thing I changed was adding a bag of frozen okra near the end of the cooking time. I didn't have time to cook a turkey breast one night so I did shrimp and andouille instead- OUTSTANDING!

An awesome recipe and a perennial tailgating request following Thanksgiving. I thicken it a little more than Emeril does by making half again more roux. I also add some file' at the end, just before serving. Great way to use the pickins' off the carcass. Go Blue Hens!




lots of roux for a gumbo

Turkey-Bone Gumbo is the real deal

I have been making Turkey-Bone Gumbo since I received Emeril's "Louisiana Real & Rustic" cookbook back in 1998. On Saturday after Thanksgiving, I start making the turkey stock. The following Saturday, it's a party at George's house full of football and cards. Everyone who has ever tasted this gumbo will agree that it's "Real & Rustic"... Way to go Emeril & Marcelle Bienvenu, I have never thrown away a turkey carcas since 1999.




Watch the Pot Size

I am sure I used the wrong size pot to do this gumbo. I used a 5 qt stockpot which I thought would be large enough. When I put in all 1 1/2 cups of oil and flour - I could never get to "roux" stage - just a brown thickened soupy consistency. I even turned the gas up to medium to get some fire under it. Stirred for over 1/2 hour - and never got it to go down to a paste consistency - which is what I'm guessing it needs to be. (Doesn't state in the recipe so wasn't sure.) This is where a larger pot would've added more area for the oil/flour to touch the surface of the hot pan and boil it down quicker... I added the veggies, stock, etc and wound up with a huge pot of tasty gravy - - not really what I was going for. Wound up taking out half of the "gravy" and poured in another 4 cups of just stock. Once this boiled down a bit I skimmed the surface quite a bit to degrease. In the end it came out OK. Flavor was good, but not terrific. I think Emeril's recipes really call for watching the production of it on TV. Lots is left up the the imagination including quantities on creole seasoning and cayenne. Usually I like cooking like that - but when using hot/spicy things - good to have a little direction. All in all an OK recipe - but probably wouldn't make again.




Try some smoked turkey stock...

What an excellent recipes. Did a twist on this one... Smoked a turkey breast over the holiday's. Did a 'stock' with the carcass. Tasted great with the Andouille sausage... Enjoy...

Every taste blended just right, the scallions set it off. My family loved it so much it is requested often. Served over rice is excellent.
