Melt butter in a heavy stock pot. Stir in flour and cook over medium heat, stirring slowly and constantly with a heavy wooden spoon for 20 minutes to 25 minutes, to make a dark brown roux the color of chocolate.


Stir in garlic, onions, celery and okra and continue to stir to soften the vegetables.


Add crushed tomatoes, tomato sauce, spices, herbs, Tabasco and turkey stock. Bring to boil. Quickly reduce heat to medium-low and simmer uncovered, stirring occasionally, for 30 minutes.
