• Remove the turkey, pick any remaining meat from the bone, and return to the pot 
• Add onion, celery, corn, lima beans, green beans, whole tomatoes, tomato sauce, and sausage to the large pot
• Make the roux in a separate skillet:
  • Add about 2 tbsp. of oil to ski l let over high heat
  • Add equal parts of flour while constantly mixing flour and oil together
• Reduce heat to medium as the flour and oil mixture brown.
• Once mixture is browned well remove from heat
