Stir in garlic, onions, celery and okra and continue to stir to soften the vegetables. Add crushed tomatoes, tomato sauce, spices, herbs, Tabasco and turkey stock. Bring to boil. Quickly reduce heat to medium-low and simmer uncovered, stirring occasionally, for 30 minutes. Add cooked sausage and turkey breast. Simmer for 10-15 minutes.
