This turkey gumbo is pretty typical in that it has the main meat — turkey legs and thighs — plus something smoked, in this case my homemade andouille sausage, and a seafood like shrimp, crab or crawfish. I do not advise using turkey breast here, because it doesn't take well to long stewing. I used chorizo sausage I had on hand leftover rice from an order of Chinese and my leftover Thanksgiving turkey. A good use of what was hanging around in the fridge after the holiday.
