Here is how you make Lean Turkey Sausage, Crab and Shrimp Gumbo:

Brown the sausage, pour off fat. To much fat in the gumbo just makes it taste fatty and detracts for the complex flavors of the other ingredients In a large, heavy pot, heat the oil and cook the flour in the oil over medium to high heat (depending on your roux-making skill), stirring constantly, until the roux reaches a dark reddish-brown color, almost the color of coffee or milk chocolate for a Cajun-style roux. If you want to save time, or prefer a more New Orleans-style roux, cook it to a dark roux color, over lower heat if you're nervous about burning it. Add the vegetables and stir quickly. This cooks the vegetables and also stops the roux from cooking further. Continue to cook, stirring constantly, for about 4 minutes. Add the water, seasonings, diced tomatoes and sausage. Bring to a boil, then cook for about two hours, skimming fat off the top as needed. Add shrimp & lump crab meat in for the last 10 minutes of cooking so that you don't over cook it. Serve over rice in large shallow bowls. Accompany with a Splenda sweetened Ice Tea and a few crackers or a little hot, crispy French bread.
