Slow Cooker Gumbo

5 from 4 votes

Let the magic happen all day while you're away.

There are few things in life more satisfying than a big bowl of hearty New Orleans style gumbo. Our SkinnyMs. Slow Cooker Gumbo harnesses all of the fantastic flavors and textures of a traditional gumbo into a skinnier version that’s thrown together in a slow cooker. We’ve used a mix of chicken, turkey sausage and all the typical gumbo veggies—onion, celery, peppers, and okra. If you don’t care for okra, no worries—just add extra celery, peppers, and onion.

Just combine all of your ingredients in a slow cooker in the morning and let the magic happen all day while you’re away. Serve it up over brown rice with a side of crusty french bread and transport yourself to New Orleans any day of the week!
