- 2 tsp smoked paprika

Instructions
- In a large pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Whisk in flour gradually to create a roux. Cook, stirring constantly, until it turns a deep brown color, about 20 minutes.
- Add onions, bell pepper, and celery to the roux. Cook until vegetables are soft, about 5 minutes.
- Mix in the garlic, Creole seasoning, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, celery seed, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and oregano. Cook for 2 more minutes.
- Gradually stir in chicken broth and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer.
- Add smoked turkey, collard greens, and cabbage. Simmer until greens are tender, about 1 hour.
- Include the andouille sausage and shrimp. Cook until shrimp are pink and cooked through, about 5-10 minutes.
- Remove the bay leaf and serve hot.
Notes
- Creole vs. Cajun: This recipe uses Creole seasoning, known for its herbs and a bit less spicy than its Cajun counterpart. Feel free to adjust the spices to suit your taste buds.
- Roux Realities: The roux, a mix of flour and fat, is the heart of any gumbo. Aim for a deep brown color for that authentic flavor.
