For the Gumbo
Place the sausage and 1 tablespoon oil in a large Dutch oven and brown over high heat. When browned, remove the sausage to a paper towel-lined plate. Pour the remaining fat into a measuring cup, then add sufficient vegetable oil to make 1/2 cup fat. Pour the fat back into the Dutch oven and reduce the heat to low.
Reserve the sausage.
Add to the oil and stir constantly over low to medium heat to make a dark a roux— preferably a chocolate-colored one, which will take about 30 minutes on low heat or 15 minutes over high heat. Add the onions, bell pepper, celery, and garlic to the roux and continue stirring until the onions are translucent and have begun to brown.
Heat 3 quarts stock to a boil and slowly add to the roux/vegetable mixture, whisking to incorporate. Add the salt, pepper, Tabasco, thyme and Creole Seasoning. Return to a boil, then reduce to a simmer.
Simmer for 1 hour.
Add the turkey and the sausage. Simmer for another hour. Add the green onions and the parsley and heat through, about 5 minutes.
