Sausage Gumbo

I added a little more Cajun seasoning for and extra kick and about a cup less okra just so it wouldn't be too slimy (ew) and it was fresh. Those were the only differences but it came out pretty good. My first time making gumbo and I'll probably make it again!

Not close enough to a gumbo Missing the roux and the cajun trinity, I'm not really sure how this is supposed to be tasty. I've made a healthy gumbo for years and this does not come even close. Why eliminate the bell pepper and celery? They're the heart of gumbo flavor. Brown the flour in the oven for the roux, you'll get maximum flavor with no fat. Skip the cardboard turkey sausages and add a little lean bacon instead for the smokey taste, and chicken breasts for the meat. Much healthier and tastier. Add some thyme to the cajun seasoning, and diced green bell pepper and celery to the onion and voila, you get real healthy gumbo! Cons: missing too many healthy flavorful ingredients

Smells amazing!!I did modify the recipe a touch but not to much cause i wanted to stay true to the flavor. I did not have hot turkey sausage so i used what i had on hand which was chicken sausage. I removed it from the case and added two chicken breasts cut in small chunks. I also added carrots and celery which i sauteed with the onions. I added all the ingrediants after the veggies were soft except the okra because i did not have instant rice i had regular brown(which takes a little longer). It came out absolutly wonderfull and smells even better. I love this website and all the great recipes!!Pros: Very healthy!!Cons: Needs more veggies!

Really not tasty!I love knowing that what I'm eating is healthy, but only when it's tasty! I made this dish following the recipe, and my guess is these turkey sausages are a very poor substitute to the real thing. Worse than tasteless, they are nasty! Sorry eatingwell.com: I'm usually a big fan! But this time, it's just not good.Pros: Easy to makeCons: Tastes nasty!

I thought this was very good and very easy to make. The soup had great flavor and had just the right amount of heat (I'm a wuss when it comes to heat). Next time I might decrease the amount of rice used to cut back on calories and to allow it to be more soupy and throw in another vegetable or two (celery, red pepper, or carrot). Also the leftovers reheated well and tasted fine. I agree that this recipe is a keeper!
