In large stock pot melt butter and saute onion, bell pepper, and celery until soft.

Add ham & turkey sausage and continue to heat till both are warm.

Add all spices & flour. Stir to combine well.

Add tomatoes & chicken broth.

Reduce heat to low cook covered for 2-3 hours stirring occasionally.

30-40 minutes before finished cooking bring to a boil. Add okra & shrimp and return to a boil. Reduce heat back down to low, recover, and continue to simmer at least 30-40 minutes or until you are ready to serve.

Once cooking is completed remove and discard bay leaves. I prefer to serve it over brown or plain white rice.
