Bake at 375 until slime is fully cooked out. This usually takes around 45 minutes to an hour 25. Try to check every fifteen minutes and stir to avoid the okra getting burned). Once done set aside2 lbs of chicken thighs, boneless and skinless. Season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and some cajun seasoning like tony's chacherie.(Once chicken is seasoned, place in a baking pan and let it bake in the oven for 25-30 minutes at 375 degrees).

Do not add garlic just yet. Monitor the pot and make sure you are not burning the vegetablesLet this cook down for about 12-15 minutes. Keep occasionally stirring until onions began to carmelize. Add garlic now. Keep an eye and occasionally stir for about 7-10 minutes.Take a cup of your stock and add it to your baked flower in a bowl. Whisk until smooth and without lumps.Add this mixture into your large pot with veggies.Stir and mix with the veggies and let this cook for about 5 minutes or so.Add your smoked turkey leg or turkey necks into the pot.Add stock until the pot is around 60 percent full-- we don't want to overfill the pot-- because we have a lot more to add into the gumbo.Stir the pot, get the mixture of the roux to gel smoothly with the water. Get this to a medium boil.Add Okra to the potNow is a great time to season your gumbo with tony's, garlic powder, pepper, hot sauce, garlic powder, to your preference. Do not add salt yet.Let this cook-- pot covered preferred, for about 45 minutes to an hour, occasionally stirring and checking in on the pot. Adding in more stock if needed.
