Leftovers - Shrimp and Smoked Turkey Sausage Gumbo

Dinner Tonight: Leftovers - Shrimp and Smoked Turkey Sausage Gumbo




I had a Simple Truth Breakfast Sandwich for breakfast this morning. Just microwave and serve.

These make one delicious sandwich to start the day. I had the English Muffin, Canadian Bacon, and Egg White Sandwich, they have 2 different kinds sold at Kroger. After Breakfast I headed out to do some Grocery shopping, I needed some things as did my Mom. Went to Meijer and a quick stop at Kroger. Then stopped by the Bank for Mom and dropped some letters off at the Post Office. Cold out this morning, about 17 degrees. Was in the 40's for the afternoon, so not too bad. Back home I was caught up on everything so i relaxed a bit. For dinner tonight, the easy prepared dinner! It was leftovers, I reheated the Shrimp and Smoked Turkey Sausage Gumbo.


I was going to freeze the leftovers but it looked too good not have. So I put the leftovers in a small sauce pan and reheated on medium low until reheated. Just as good the second time around! I left the original post from the other night below.






To make it I used a box of Zatarain’s Gumbo Pasta Dinner Mix for the Gumbo base, 1 Butterball
Hardwood Smoked Turkey Sausage (sliced into bite size slices), a bag of Kroger Brand Jumbo Shrimp (that I precooked before adding to the Gumbo), and Frank’s Red Hot Sauce.







The Zatarain’s Gumbo Pasta Dinner Mix uses Pasta instead of Rice. Very easy to prepare, takes

about 25-30 minutes. I just boil the stock that’s in the packet, add the sliced the Turkey Sausage to the stock along with a few shakes of Frank’s Red Hot Sauce and continued to cook for 10-15 minutes. Then I added Extra Large Shrimp and simmered another 3-6 minutes. And the Gumbo is ready to serve and It turns out fantastic! Nice flavor, incredible tasting stock, meaty Shrimp and Sausage, and plenty of Pasta, makes one easily prepared hearty and delicious dish. Plus enough leftovers for a couple of lunches too! I also baked a loaf of Pillsbury French Bread. For dessert later a Skinny Cow Chocolate Truffle Ice Cream Bar.
