Remove turkey meat from carcass and dice. Set aside.
In a large Dutch oven over medium heat, melt butter. Add flour and

chocolate brown, about 15 minutes. Do not let burn. Stir in onions,
celery, and green pepper and cook an additional 5 minutes. Stir in 10
cups water and bouillon cubes. Place turkey carcass in the water and
bring to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer and continue to simmer for 4
hours. Remove carcass. Add reserved turkey meat and sausage. Stir in
Creole seasoning and season with salt and pepper. Simmer one hour.
