This is quite similar to Emeril LaGasse's turkey andui gumbo, which we've been making for years. However, we prefer using a smoked farmers sausage instead os andui. I think they would call it Mennonite sausage in some places. We also like it thick, more like a stew than a soup. We call it prairie gumbo because we are in Calgary, on the western edge of the Canadian prairie (between the rocky mountains and the north americaan geat plains). It's a fusion between the creole/cajun flavors and the German/Ukranian tastes from the people who homesteaded this area of the country more than a century ago.

I’m from New Orleans. This is not how I make gumbo. Nevertheless I bet it’s good. I make a fast roux. High heat stirring continuously for about 15 minutes. I get it to hersheys color then dump in the trinity to stop the cooking. I roast the bones at 450 before making broth. I also roast a few onions whole add carrots and celery. all the rest is good. Oh and I brown the andouille before making the roux in the same pot. I use less cayenne and more rice. Btw my roux technique scares my wife. lol!

Nice looking soup but NOT a gumbo without okra. Originating in Africa, the original name of okra is gumbo. Couple of other things, the source of the andouille (or sausage) makes a giant difference. The good stuff comes from smokehouses in S. Louisiana. Also you can make a roux in about 10 to 15 minutes in the microwave, 50% power and stir every 2 minutes or so.

You know what’s funny Yesterday I watched your etouffee recipe with my kiddos. You didn’t do a brown roux for it, so I took them to Emeril’s episode of Cooking with Master Chefs with Julia Child where he does a brown roux on the stove, but suggests that you can also do a brown roux in the oven. Full. Circle.

I like the oven roux idea. I might try it with the air fryer. Now, you got me thinking. My family's okra gumbo uses the cooked down okra starch as a roux, I've heard tales of it being done in an oven. I might also just do some experiments with that. Reply if you use okra this way!

Husband and I are getting sick, so I'm online looking up inspiration for our annual Soup Week where I make up a bunch of soups all at once so that we can be properly sick in bed for a week or two and still have homemade meals. Thanks for providing this beautiful option!

I will make this! During an early stint (1960s) in Louisiana my mom made her gumbo with dark roux, chicken, smoked sausage, veg with parsley and gumbo file (sassafras) over rice. YUM on a cold weather day. Thanks!

I have a hard time with sausage; however, my son loves andouille sausage and I know he will very much appreciate this soup! I'll make it for his birthday with leftover Christmas turkey. Thank you, Chef John!

Standing at the stove working a roux is an event. Yaking with guests, sampling cocktails. I'm sure your method is good and tasty but you're missing the party. Although, I'd definitely eat it!

I have to agree with others. making roux in an oven is a game changer. Never heard of, nor thought of it. No more standing and stirring until your arm falls off. from Toronto.

You shouldn't cheat at sports and you shouldn't cheat at making roux, but i will try this next time. Brown rice flour make a good gluten free roux and your missing the okra.

This looks amazing chef, the roux in the oven is genius.
One minor critique though, you forgot to add the holy pop to your trinity, garlic!

My brother in [insert favored deity], that is not a dark roux. A dark roux is the color of chocolate, not caramel or peanut butter.
