A new (Turkey) Gumbo!

I had both a turkey & a chicken carcass in my freezer and made a gumbo.  I like my Mom's recipe from years ago but it isn't designed to be made from a carcass.  So I searched around, found a recipe that is designed to be made from a carcass and combined them. The one I found is a more "traditional" southern recipe using a roux. However, I really like how my Mom's recipe has both tomatoes & okra in it, and also some of the spices. The result of combining the recipes was really delicious.  I was especially excited to use up the rest of my green peppers out of my garden and some of my frozen okra!
