CHICKEN AND TURKEY GUMBO

Steps:

• For the smoked turkey stock: Bring the smoked turkey legs, carrot, celery, onions and 1 gallon water to a simmer in a large pot and cook for 3 hours. Strain the stock, pick the turkey meat off of the legs and reserve. You should have about 3 quarts stock.
• For the gumbo: Melt the butter in a large pot over high heat. Whisk in the flour, reduce the heat to medium and cook, stirring constantly so the roux doesn't burn, until chocolate brown, about 15 minutes.
• Add the onions to the roux and continue to cook, stirring frequently, until the onions are caramelized and brown, 15 to 20 minutes. Stir in the Creole spice mix, and then add the smoked chicken sausage, celery, peppers and garlic and cook for 4 to 5 minutes. Whisk in the Worcestershire sauce, thyme, bay leaves and turkey stock and bring to a simmer. Cook the gumbo, stirring occasionally, for about 60 minutes.
• Add the okra, tomatoes, file powder, hot sauce and picked turkey meat. Season with salt and pepper and simmer for 30 minutes more.
• For the white rice: Bring 3 cups water to a boil in a saucepan. Stir in the long-grain rice, reduce the heat to a simmer, cover and cook until all of the liquid is absorbed, 12 to 15 minutes. Fluff the rice with a fork and season with salt and pepper.
• For serving: Divide the rice among bowls and ladle the gumbo on top.

DUPRE FAMILY CHICKEN AND SAUSAGE GUMBO

Steps:

• Peel back the skin from the chicken drumsticks and breasts without removing the skin, and make several deep cuts in the chicken meat. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of Cajun seasoning into the cuts and onto the meat, then replace the skin. Whisk 1/2 cup olive oil and white wine together in a bowl. Place the chicken into a large bowl, pour the olive oil mixture over, stir to coat, and refrigerate 1 hour.
• Remove the chicken pieces from the marinade, and discard the marinade. Heat 1/4 cup olive oil in a large skillet until the oil shimmers, and brown the chicken pieces over medium heat, working in batches if necessary, about 5 minutes per side. Place all the chicken pieces into a large soup pot, and pour the broth over the chicken. Bring the mixture to a boil, reduce heat to a simmer, and cook the chicken until tender, about 20 minutes.
• While the chicken is simmering, place the onion, green bell pepper, and celery into a skillet with 3 tablespoons of olive oil, and cook and stir until the onions are transparent and the peppers have softened, about 8 minutes. Set the onion mixture aside.
• Make a roux: mix flour and canola oil together in a nonstick pan, stirring the mixture together until smooth and lump-free. Heat over medium-high heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon and scraping the bottom of the pan to prevent burning. After about 5 minutes of stirring, the roux will begin to turn a pale golden color, and gently bubble and foam. Stir the roux until it turns the color of milk chocolate and gives off a nutty fragrance, about 30 to 40 more minutes. Watch carefully because it's easy to burn the roux. Pull the pan from the hot burner, and stir until the roux cools and stops cooking, about 5 more minutes.
• Stir the onion mixture and 1 cup of boiling water into the roux (be careful to avoid spattering), heat over medium heat until the mixture comes to a simmer, and whisk until the roux and water combine and become thick, about 10 minutes. Pour the thickened roux into the pot with the chicken, stir together, and add 9 more cups of boiling water. Season the gumbo with 2 more teaspoons of Cajun seasoning, or to taste, and bring the soup to a rolling boil. Reduce heat, and simmer for 1 hour.
• Sprinkle garlic powder and cayenne pepper over the smoked sausage, and brown in a skillet with 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Transfer the sausage into the soup, and simmer for 30 more minutes. Remove the chicken pieces, and take the chicken meat off the bones, discarding the skin and bones. Return the chicken meat to the soup. Simmer 15 more minutes, and skim off the layer of oil that has formed on top of the gumbo.
• While the gumbo is simmering, 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.
• Serve gumbo over hot, cooked rice with a generous sprinkling of chopped green onions over each serving.
