Recipe - Leftover Holiday Turkey Gumbo Pt 2

See part 1

my old friends Peter and Sarah Simoneaux, New Orleans expatriates (who've
since moved back home). They and I were invited to the home of some friends
of theirs, and we agreed to provide some side dishes.

The meal was lovely, and afterwards one of us remarked about how wonderful
all that leftover turkey would be, and how they'd enjoy it over the next
few days. "Oh, we're leaving for Mexico for a vacation tomorrow," our
hostess said, "and we're just going to throw it away."

Peter and I nearly shrieked. "Can we have it?" we pleaded. Sure, no
problem!

Folks ... what ya do with ya leftover turkey carcass is to make a gumbo.
It's fabulous. Sure, make turkey sandwiches, turkey whatevers, but reserve
a pound or so of turkey meat and the bones/carcass and make this. You won't
regret it. And maybe, the twodaysafterThanksgiving dinner of gumbo might
just become a tradition in your household. Typos By Jim Kirk
