This slow-cooker gumbo recipe skips the fat when browning the flour and swaps in turkey sausage and brown rice, resulting in a healthier dish with the classic Creole taste.

Bland and UGLY...sort of seven shades of beige. I should have been suspicious of a lack of seasoning..1 tsp of dried thyme for all that other stuff..so I'll try to salvage it tomorrow. Maybe with Worcestershire, some hot sauce, a can of tomatoes and/or some beans. UPDATE...can of tomatoes, 1 1/2 cups corn, 1 yellow squash, 1 tsp. "Slap Yo' Mama" Cajun spice mix. Helped a LOT.
