Save the bones for Henry Jones

It's time to finish off those leftovers the right way. Yesterday, I made my annual turkey carcass stock. Tonight, I'm making the gumbo. And, of course, I'm re-running the recipe post here.

Update: This year I added a step to the recipe by reserving about two cups of broth from the bottom of the Thanksgiving turkey roasting pan to use as a "starter" liquid when building the Gumbo. This is rich stuff as evidenced by the layer of fat seen here developing along the sides of the pot.

You can skim some of this off the top... but not too much because then what's the point?
