I love that this gumbo is made with turkey. It's a healthier option than traditional gumbo made with pork or chicken.

I found that the gumbo was a little bland. I added some additional spices, such as paprika and cumin, and it really improved the flavor.

The gumbo was a little too spicy for me, but I was able to tone it down by adding less cayenne pepper.
