  3. Thoroughly dissolve one 16 once jar Savoie's® Old Fashioned Dark Roux in 2 gallons of water with frequent stirring while bringing it to a boil in your gumbo pot.
  4. While your water is heating and the roux is dissolving, prepare your vegetables. Don't forget to stir your roux and check your sausage.

  8. Place dove, chicken, sausage, and vegetables minus the green onions and parsley in your gumbo pot, turn up the heat and bring to a boil.
  9. Lower the heat and simmer stirring occasionally until the chicken is tender.
  10. Once the chicken is tender stir in the green onion and parsley.
