This is a super easy gumbo. Smoked turkey may be substituted for the ham. Tastes even better the next day! Top with cooked rice and garnish with parsley and chopped green onions to serve.

I made this recipe with smoked sausage instead of andouille sausage. It was amazing! The smokiness of the sausage added a great flavor to the gumbo. I will definitely be making this again.
