Duck Gumbo

(from Lucianolinda’s recipe box)

World Duck Calling Championship Gumbo Cook-Off Committee Chairman. This makes a lot of gumbo, you might want to cut the recipe in half, or even 1/4th, or invite the whole neighborhood to dinner. I made it cutting the recipe in half and still served 14 people with leftovers
