    Categories: Poultry, Cajun, Diabetic, Crockpot
    Yield: 4 Servings

    2 tb Margarine *
    1/2 lb Fresh or frozen okra 1" pcs
    2 c Chopped celery
    1 md Onion, chopped
    1 sm Bell pepper; chopped

    +=OR=+
    16 oz Can peeled tomatoes
    2 c Water
    2 c Chopped cooked turkey
    3/4 ts Gumbo file powder
    Cooked rice

    * I used REAL butter and omitted the snot-pods, increasing
    the celery and bell pepper - UDD

    Melt the margarine in a large skillet. Add the okra. Saute
    until the okra loses its shiny appearance, about 5 mins.
    Remove the okra pieces to a bowl. Add the celery onion,
    green pepper, and garlic to the skillet.

    Cook over medium heat until the onion is transparent. Add
    the tomato paste, tomatoes, water, okra mixture, and
    turkey. Cook over low heat 10 minutes or until turkey is
    hot. Add the file powder. Stir to blend. Spoon over the
    rice in soup bowls.
