Let’s Get Ready to Cook Turkey Neck Gumbo!

A Christilisa Recipe

The day has finally come for y’all to tackle the turkey neck gumbo recipe! I am extremely proud of myself for getting this right the first time. Do you know how often people mess up their roux? Too many to count. I mean I shouldn’t because I’ve been making roux for almost a decade even though I’ve never made a gumbo at home. (That’s freaking wild!) How does that happen? Well, if you read my letter from Monday (or was it last week) I talk about my past job as Director of Sales for an interactive restaurant. I mentioned we made gumbo all of the time and on occasion ya girl would assist( I still do this with a culinary entertainment company in New Orleans). 

If you’ve never made a roux, be prepared for it to take up to an hour. You have to stir constantly or else you will burn it. 

Next week, I will be doing a full written breakdown of the recipe for my paid subscribers. 

I will be taking a little break from cooking as I have a pinched nerve in my neck. Because of this issue, I will be focusing on book/cookbook reviews until the end of the month. I’ll be back sharing recipes in October, maybe before. 

Okay, here is the recipe:

The weather just started getting cooler so it’s officially gumbo weather. Get in the kitchen and let me know how your gumbo turns out.

Until next time,
