Anyone from Louisiana will tell you, the day-after Thanksgiving means turkey gumbo. If you’re like most Americans, there’s a turkey carcass hogging a shelf in the refrigerator and there’s nothing better to make with it than turkey gumbo. This year we’re feasting on our favorite, Greenberg’s Smoked Turkey from Tyler, Texas.
As I study the sources of these nine recipes, I’m thankful for the dear friends, and neighbors (Tootsie Greenberg Goodman), colleagues and fellow writers who, over the years, have shared their lives and recipes with me, and for the new friends who continue to enrich my life with their kindness and generosity. Enjoy some turkey gumbo and an empty refrigerator top shelf.
