This is a nice recipe to use when you live in a place where many of the ingredients are not available. It was easy to substitute a few things and the result was still very tasty. Not very spicy in the end, but still something I will make again.

I made this for a group of friends, most of whom had never had Gumbo before. It was a good first recipe for them. I was a little disappointed. However, I would have been MORE disappointed if I hadn't made certain alterations in the recipe. Instead of Turkey Sausage, I used Andouille Sausage to make it more authentic. I also added Cajun Seasoning and left a bottle of hot sauce out for people to add to their liking.
