The Best Leftover Turkey Gumbo

My favorite way to use leftover turkey. Must give credit where due....this is my modification to one of emeril's recipes - his was to boil a turkey specifically for gumbo - mine is to use up those leftovers!!

Steps

Make the roux.
In a large dutch oven , over medium heat , combine the oil and flour.
Cook , stirring constantly until dark brown for 20-30 minutes.
Add all the chopped veggies to the roux , along with the chopped sausage.
Cook , stirring occasionally , until the veggies are very soft , about 10 minutes.
Add the salt and cayenne pepper.
Add the broth and water , combining well.
Bring to a boil , then reduce heat to medium-low and cook , uncovered , stirring occasionally , for 1 1 / 2 hrs.
Add the turkey and sliced sausage to the gumbo.
Cook 15 minutes more.
Remove from heat , let sit for 5 minutes , then skim any fat that has risen to the surface.
Stir in green onions and parsley.
Serve over rice , with hot french bread !.
