Turkey Gumbo
Make a Creole inspired Turkey Gumbo dish using your leftover turkey
The base of this gumbo is our chicken bone broth. So right off the bat it has a rich full bodied flavor. Using Otto's Cassava Flour to make the roux makes this gumbo gluten free and Paleo. This is an authentic dish with the vegetables and spicy sausage. Very tasty! You should try it at home.
