Instructions

Make a roux by cooking flour and grease in a large pot until the mixture darkens to the color of peanut butter.
Add ingredients to the roux and allow to simmer for 25 minutes.
Add cooked fish or turkey fillet to the pot.
Cover with a lid and simmer for another 30 minutes, stirring carefully from side to side occasionally to prevent sticking or burning.
