Smoked Turkey And Andouille Gumbo Recipes

TURKEY GUMBO WITH ANDOUILLE AND SHRIMP

Steps:

• Pour the stock and 1 quart water into a pot and bring it to a simmer.
• In a large, heavy soup pot, heat the peanut oil over medium-high heat. Stir in the flour to make a roux and cook this, stirring often, until it's the color of milk chocolate. You'll need to stir this more often as it cooks so it doesn't burn. This should take about 15 minutes.
• Add the diced vegetables and the garlic, and mix well. Let this cook over medium heat until soft, about 10 minutes. Stir in the celery seed, bay leaves, and Cajun seasoning.
• Bring the stock to a full boil and start adding it ladle by lade into the soup pot. It will sputter and seize up at first, but keep adding the stock until it has all incorporated. Bring this to a full, rolling boil and let this boil for a couple of minutes.
• Turn the heat back down to a simmer and add the turkey drumsticks. Taste for salt and let this simmer until the meat wants to fall off the bone, a couple of hours. Remove the turkey legs and pull the meat from the bone.
• Add the sausage, shrimp, and okra or about a tablespoon of filé to thicken, and let this simmer 5 minutes. Add Tabasco to taste and serve garnished with green onions over rice.

Add stock, bay leaf, 2 teaspoons salt, cayenne and Creole spice to taste. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for 1 hour. Add turkey and simmer 30 minutes more. Adjust seasonings and serve with hot steamed rice and a generous sprinkle of green onions.

SMOKED TURKEY AND ANDOUILLE GUMBO

Steps:

• Make the stock: Bring ingredients and one gallon water to a boil in a large stockpot. Reduce heat to medium; simmer four hours, then strain stock and keep warm. Make the gumbo: Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in an 8-quart Dutch oven over medium-high. Cook andouille until fat renders, eight to ten minutes; transfer to a plate. Add remaining oil and sprinkle in flour; make a dark roux. Add garlic, onions, and bell peppers; cook until soft, ten to twelve minutes. Stir in granulated garlic and onion, mesquite seasoning, cayenne, white pepper, and chile flakes; cook one minute. Add reserved stock and andouille, the turkey breast, Worcestershire sauce, and salt; boil. Reduce heat to medium; cook, stirring occasionally, until gumbo is thickened, about one hour. Serve with rice.
