Elevate Thanksgiving dinner with this hearty Double Wild Turkey Gumbo featuring wild rice, vegetables, and flavorsome herbs.
Ingredients:
  • 1 cup wild rice
  • 2 teaspoons Celtic sea salt, divided
  • 3 quarts chicken broth, divided
  • 2 tablespoons coconut oil
  • 3 cups cubed wild turkey breast, or more to taste
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 2 large carrots, quartered lengthwise and sliced
  • 4 stalks celery, chopped
  • 1 pound bag frozen okra
  • 1 teaspoon white pepper
  • 0.75 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 3 tablespoons chopped jarred jalapeno peppers
  • 1 teaspoon hot sauce (such as Texas Pete®)
Instructions:
  • In a bowl, cover wild rice with water and soak for 4 hours to overnight. Drain rice before using.
  • Combine wild rice and a hint of salt in a stockpot. Pour in approximately 3 cups of chicken broth. Bring to a boil, then simmer covered over medium-low heat until the rice is tender, around 30 to 40 minutes.
  • In a large skillet, warm coconut oil over medium heat. Sauté turkey, onion, carrots, and celery until turkey is cooked and veggies are tender, about 10-15 minutes. Stir in okra and cook until thawed, about 5-7 minutes. Season with 1 teaspoon salt, white pepper, and black pepper.
  • Add wild rice, turkey mixture, jalapeno peppers, hot sauce, and the rest of the chicken stock into a slow cooker.
  • To intensify flavors, set the heat to High and let the dish simmer for 1 hour.
