Preparation Time: 30 mins
Cook Time: 3 hrs 40 mins
- stir oil and flour together in a large, heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat. cook, stirring slowly and constantly to keep the roux from burning, until the mixture becomes a dark chocolate brown, about 25 minutes. add the onions, celery, and bell peppers to the roux all at once, and continue to stir until vegetables are wilted, about 5 minutes. season with salt and cayenne pepper.
- stir in the smoked sausage and bay leaves, and continue to stir for 3 to 4 minutes. pour in the turkey stock and stir until the stock and roux mixture are well combined. bring the gumbo to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low. cook, uncovered, stirring occasionally, for 1 hour. stir in the turkey and the file powder; simmer for 2 hours.
- about 30 minutes before serving, bring the rice and water to a boil in a saucepan over high heat. reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the rice is tender, and the liquid has been absorbed, 20 to 25 minutes.
- skim off any fat that rises to the surface of the gumbo; remove from heat. stir in the parsley and green onions. remove the bay leaves, and serve the gumbo in deep bowls with rice.
Ready Time: 4 hrs 10 mins
