Narrative:

Surface winds at abq were gusting to 38 knots from a heading of 100 according to the ATIS and ATC. No windshear advisories were present. We departed runway 8 to ZZZ. I was the pilot monitoring and my first officer was the pilot flying. We were on the rdrnr departure; which requires a steep left climbing downwind departure to avoid terrain.the pilot flying was flying the departure manually with the autopilot off. Right as we started the left banking turn; we hit moderate turbulence as the headwind became a crosswind. The performance data had set us up with a flaps 1 takeoff. We began retracting flaps on schedule. As we continued the turn the turbulence increased from moderate to severe while in a 30 degree bank and we experienced aggressive deviations to both our bank and our altitude due to turbulence and windshear. As soon as we hit the severe turbulence I immediately instructed the pilot flying to level both wings and nose as I saw the speed tape move irregularly to the point that I believed we could find us in further unusual attitudes due to our configuration. While attempting to gain control of the aircraft with above procedures; the stall warning/stick shaker sounded for a split second and the pilot flying continued to take appropriate actions to put the aircraft in a favorable pitch/bank configuration.I immediately contacted ATC and advised we could not continue flying the departure after noticing we were clear of all terrain at that point. ATC gave us direct a fix and we complied. I advised ATC that we had encountered severe turbulence; contacted our dispatcher as well as maintenance control. I called the flight attendants to make sure that there were no injuries and that everyone was okay; although they themselves admitted they were pretty shook up. We continued to ZZZ without further incident and a call was made to the chief pilot; dispatch and maintenance control and a write up was put in the logbook requesting a severe turbulence inspection of the aircraft.I believe that the nature of how aggressive the departure turn is; coupled with unfavorable gusting conditions at a high altitude airport caused the progression of events that we encountered. As a crew we did everything we could to keep the airplane flying safely and no limitations were exceeded and no injuries or damage was encountered to the crew or the passengers.
