Heat the vegetable oil and bacon grease in a large pot over medium heat.

Add the gluten free flour to the pot and stir continuously to make a dark roux.

Once the roux is dark and chocolatey, add the diced ham, Andouille sausage, and chicken fingers to the pot.

Stir in the minced garlic, chopped bell pepper, chopped onions, and diced celery.

Add the frozen sliced okra, Cajun Creole seasoning, and stewed tomatoes to the mixture.

Toss in the Gumbo File', bay leaves, and flaked parsley.

Simmer the gumbo until the chicken is cooked through and the flavors meld together.
