Instructions

Step 1

Pat chicken wings dry with paper towels. Season all over with ½ teaspoon salt and ¼ teaspoon chile powder (or a pinch of cayenne), and set aside.

Step 2

In a blender, combine 1 cup stock or water, tomato sauce, onion, bell pepper, chile (if using), curry powder, tomato paste, remaining 1 tablespoon ground chile (or ½ teaspoon cayenne) and a pinch of salt. Blend until smooth. Set aside.

Step 3

Add oil to a large soup pot over medium-high heat. Once oil is hot but not smoking, add chicken and cook until browned on both sides, 4 to 6 minutes per side. Transfer the chicken to a plate. While the oil is still hot, carefully pour the onion-tomato mixture into the pot. Do this slowly as the sauce may splatter. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook until thickens slightly, about 5 to 7 minutes.

Step 4

Add the reserved chicken wings, collard greens, turkey, turkey bones (if using), remaining ¾ teaspoon salt and 2 cups stock or water. Cook on simmer, partly covered, until chicken is cooked through and very tender, 20 to 30 minutes. If the gumbo looks dry, add more stock or water.

Step 5

Stir in shrimp and cook until it is just cooked through and opaque, another 3 to 5 minutes. Taste and add more salt and chile powder, if needed. Remove turkey bones and serve gumbo with rice.
