- 2 cups okra chopped, fresh or frozen
- 1/2 medium cabbage leaves roughly chopped
- 1 cup vegetable oil
- 2 cups flour
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 1/2 pound smoked sausage sliced
- 1/2 pound smoked turkey wings

Instructions
- In a pan, cook the smoked sausage and turkey wings until the fat is rendered. Set them aside.
- Clean and roughly chop all the greens. In a dutch oven, boil the greens with the smoked turkey pieces on medium heat. Drain and keep the broth.
- In a pot, melt the reserved fat with a little oil over medium-low heat. Stir in the flour constantly until you achieve a dark chocolate-colored roux.
- Add diced celery, garlic, onions, and bell pepper to the roux. Saute for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Add fresh thyme, half the seasoning mix, greens, cabbage, turkey, sausage, and reserved broth to the pot. Simmer covered for 30 minutes.
- Stir in the okra and remaining seasoning. Cook for another 12-20 minutes. Remove from heat and serve with white rice.
