This is apparently my sister's family's favorite thing to do with leftover turkey at Thanksgiving. The recipe is originally from a cookbook called New Orleans by the Bowl.
1 turkey carcass
4-5 quarts water
3/4 C. oil
1/2 C. flour
1 pound andouille sausage, cut into 1/4-inch slices
2-3 C. chunked turkey meat
1 large onion, chopped
1 green pepper, chopped
2 stalks celery, chopped
5 cloves garlic, minced
2 C. sliced fresh okra
1 large tomato, chopped
1 6-oz. can tomato paste
2 Tbsp. Worcestershire sauce
2 tsp. creole seasoning (Tony Chachere's)
2 tsp. Louisiana hot sauce
5 C. cooked white rice
2 green onions, chopped for garnish
Make turkey stock as directed here, or simmer in a stock pot for at least 2 hours in a pinch. Strain and reserve the stock, skimming off fat or impurities. Make a roux in a skillet by stirring 1/2 C. oil with flour over medium-high heat until dark brown. Remove from heat and reserve.
In a separate skillet over medium-high heat, brown the sausage and turkey meat in the remaining 1/4 C. oil. Add the onion, peppers, celery, garlic, okra, and tomato, stirring until a savory paste is formed (about 15 minutes). Add the reserved stock along with the tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, creole seasoning, and hot sauce. Thicken with the roux.
Serve over white rice garnished with green onion.
