Time 1h45m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 teaspoons vegetable oil
1 pound skinless, boneless turkey thigh meat, trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces
1 pound hot Italian-style turkey sausage links, casings removed
1 cup chopped onion
1 cup chopped celery
1 cup chopped green bell pepper
4 garlic cloves, minced
½ cup all-purpose flour
2 cups peeled cubed sweet potato
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon dried oregano
2 (14.5 ounce) cans chicken broth
1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes
1 bay leaf
½ teaspoon hot pepper sauce

Steps:

  • Heat vegetable oil in a large pot over medium heat, and cook and stir the turkey thigh pieces until browned and no longer pink in the middle, about 10 minutes. Set the turkey aside. In the same pot, place the sausage, and break into chunks with a spatula. Cook and stir the sausage until browned and crumbly, about 10 minutes.
  • Stir the onion, celery, and green pepper into the pot. Continue to cook and stir until the onions are translucent, about 5 more minutes. Mix in the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute; then stir in the flour. Cook and stir the mixture until the flour forms a coating on the sausage and vegetables and begins to brown, 5 to 8 more minutes.
  • Mix in the sweet potato, thyme, oregano, chicken broth, tomatoes, and bay leaf, and bring the gumbo to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer, stirring often, until thickened and the sweet potatoes are tender, about 15 minutes. Stir in the cooked turkey and hot sauce, and simmer until the turkey is heated through. Discard the bay leaf before serving.

This gumbo was a bit too thick for my taste. I think I'll add more broth next time.

This gumbo was a bit bland for my taste. I think I'll add more spices next time.

This gumbo was easy to make and turned out great! I used chicken instead of turkey, and it was still delicious.

This gumbo was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. I'll probably use less cayenne pepper next time.
