Ingredients:

- 1 pound smoked turkey, diced

- 1/2 pound Andouille sausage, sliced

- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour

- 1/2 cup olive oil

- 1 onion, diced

- 1 green bell pepper, diced

- 3 cloves of garlic, minced

- 1 can diced tomatoes

- 4 cups chicken broth

- 1 teaspoon dried thyme

- 1 teaspoon dried oregano

- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika

- Salt and pepper to taste

Direction:

1. In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the diced smoked turkey and Andouille sausage and cook until lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Remove from the pot and set aside.

 

2. In the same pot, add the flour and cook, stirring constantly, until it turns a dark brown color, about 10 minutes. This will create a roux, which will thicken the gumbo.

 

3. Add the diced onion, green bell pepper, and garlic to the pot and cook until they begin to soften, about 5 minutes.

 

4. Stir in the diced tomatoes, chicken broth, dried thyme, dried oregano, smoked paprika, and the cooked smoked turkey and Andouille sausage.

 

5. Bring the gumbo to a simmer and let it cook for about 20 minutes.

 

6. Taste the gumbo and add salt and pepper as needed.

 

7. Serve the gumbo over a bed of rice, if desired. Enjoy your delicious and flavorful Smoked Turkey-and-Andouille Gumbo!
