# Leftover Turkey and Sausage Gumbo

Jan 19, 2013 9:00:45 AM  |  by [Guest](https://www.catholicmom.com/articles/author/guest)

*Are you the type of person who has the turkey carcass in your freezer from Thanksgiving?*

*Did you make a turkey for Christmas and was wondering what to do with the leftovers?*

*Are you tired of the same turkey sandwich in your lunchbox?*

If you answered yes to any of these questions, then I have the recipe for you. What? You already ate all your leftover turkey? No worries, this can be made with chicken also.

### **Leftover Turkey and Sausage Gumbo**

**Ingredients:**

1/2 cup Vegetable oil  
 1/2 cup all-purpose flour  
 1 medium bell pepper (I used green)  
 3 stalks of celery  
 1 medium onion  
 2 quarts homemade turkey stock or store bought  
 3 garlic cloves  
 1 1/2 teaspoons thyme  
 1 bay leaf  
 3 tablespoons creole seasoning  
 4 cups leftover turkey meat cut into bite size chunks  
 2 lbs Andouille or kielbasa type sausage cut into 1 inch pieces  
 2 cups cooked white rice

****Directions:****

Preheat your oven for 350 degrees. Combine the oil and flour in a large Dutch oven. Put the lid on and set it in the oven for 1 1/2 hours. Don't peek, don't open the lid, just leave it. At this point you should have a chocolate brown roux. Meanwhile chop up your pepper, celery and onion. Add that to the pot. Mix it around until it starts to brown, about 5 minutes. Add your stock, garlic, thyme bay and creole seasonings. Bring back to a boil. Simmer for 30 minutes. Add the turkey and the sausage and simmer for another 30 minutes. Serve with hot rice.
