    This was my first attempt at gumbo and it was so tasty! The heat may not have been high enough because my "dark brown roux" took more like 45-50 minutes. Well worth it! Enjoy! Great gumbo - even for beginners like me!

    I absolutely Love this recipe!! I have been making it for years and it has never failed me! Great stock and the flavor is outrageous. Yes, this recipe does take time... but it is well worth it.

    This is one of the easiest GENUINE gumbo recipes. It takes a while (making the stock from turkey bones, for example but not hard to follow. For "Happy in the Kitchen", serve the gumbo over the rice and THEN add the file. It is best not to add it to the whole recipe, especially if you have leftovers that you might want to reheat later, as mentioned in an earlier post.
    Delicious!

    Love the taste but I have to take a little of the rating since they have an ingredient on the list and no instructions on how to use it. When do you ad the File?

    Just added the turkey and taste-tested it. Mmmmm. Ltighe- you made an excellent point about watching the heat. I have made this for a couple of years and it is the Best way to use that left-over turkey. I brined my turkey using Emeril's " Funky Bird" recipe and I was afraid there wouldn't be any turkey left over! Can't wait to eat!

    EXCELLENT recipe! I am a healthy eater so I made the roux with whole wheat flower and used brown rice! The BEST next day turkey recipe.

    This is my second time making this recipe. I've made it as written and continue to find it to be one of the best uses for the leftover turkey carcass. If your home is smokey while making the roux, use your knobs! Turn down the flame! And, only attempt the roux when you are NOT in a hurry. Most good things in life take time. Also, file is sometimes served on the side, to be added to your own personal serving as desired. With other gumbo recipes, I have added the file after the gumbo was completely cooked. It can become stringy if added sooner.

    When do you add the 1 tablespoon file powder? I think it will be really good.Haven't eaten it yet. Got to the end of the recipe and don't see where the file powder is added. At the end as a seasoning?
