Giblet gravy is a traditional dish made from the giblets of poultry, typically turkey or chicken. Giblets are the edible internal organs of the bird, including the heart, liver, gizzard, and neck. Giblet gravy is often served with roasted poultry, such as turkey or chicken, and is a popular dish for Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners.

GIBLET GRAVY

Provided by Ree Drummond : Food Network

Time 50m

Yield 16 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 bag giblets
Turkey drippings
5 to 6 tablespoons flour
2 to 4 cups low sodium chicken broth
Freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Pour the contents of the giblet bags into a large saucepan. Cover with water and boil until cooked through, 20 to 25 minutes. Turn off the heat and set aside. Remove the giblets from the pan, allow them to cool, and then chop up the gizzards and liver. Pick the meat from the neck. Discard the bones.
  • Pour all the turkey drippings out of the roasting pan into a separate container. Allow grease to separate from the juices. Ladle out the fat into another bowl.
  • Place the roasting pan over 2 burners over medium heat (there should be lots of yummy brown bits in the pan). Add 3 to 4 tablespoons of the fat back into the pan. Whisk it around to evenly distribute it throughout the pan. Sprinkle 5 to 6 tablespoons of flour over the grease and whisk to combine it with the fat, loosening the bits from the bottom of the pan a little in the process. Cook the roux until it becomes a deep golden brown, 4 to 5 minutes.
  • Pour in the chicken broth, whisking constantly. Add 2 to 4 cups, depending on your need. Cook the gravy, whisking gently, until the mixture begins to thicken. Pour in a little bit of the turkey drippings, but be aware that because the brine is so salty, these drippings are very salty. Keep cooking the gravy until thick, adding in chopped giblets, to taste, as well as plenty of black pepper. Use the giblet water from the saucepan to thin the gravy if it gets too thick.
  • Serve when very thick and flavorful.

GIBLET GRAVY



Giblet Gravy image

While the turkey is in the oven, get some rest - and make the gravy. Giblet gravy requires the cook to use the neck, gizzard and heart of the bird to make deeply flavored stock, which is then combined with the pan drippings, a bit of flour and wine or brandy. Finally, the cooked neck, gizzard and heart are finely chopped and added to the rich, savory gravy, to make for a more interesting texture.

Provided by Florence Fabricant

Categories     sauces and gravies

Time 40m

Yield 2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 large onions, peeled
Turkey neck, gizzard and heart
1 carrot, peeled and cut in half
1 stalk celery, cut in halves
A few sprigs of parsley
6 whole peppercorns
3 cups of water
1 to 1 1/2 tablespoons flour
Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
2 tablespoons white wine or brandy (optional)

Steps:

  • After turkey has been roasting for about an hour, slice one of the onions and scatter slices in roasting pan with turkey.
  • Place the other onion, cut in half, in a saucepan. Add turkey neck, gizzard and heart, the carrot, celery, parsley and peppercorns. Cover with water and bring to boil. Skim surface, lower heat and allow to simmer at least 30 minutes. Strain and reserve the stock. You should have about 2 cups of stock. Dice meat from neck, gizzard and heart, and set it aside.
  • When turkey has finished roasting and is resting on the carving board place the roasting pan on top of the stove, over two burners if necessary. Skim off all but a few tablespoons of fat from pan. Sprinkle the bottom of the pan with the flour (the more used the thicker the gravy), and whisk it vigorously and thoroughly, scraping up any particles clinging to the pan. Gradually add the stock, whisking constantly over medium heat until the mixture has thickened and is smooth. Strain into a sauce pan.
  • Add any juices from carving board and the reserved giblets. Season with salt and pepper. Add wine or brandy and bring to a simmer, and serve.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality giblets. Fresh, organic giblets will produce the best gravy.
  • Clean the giblets thoroughly. Remove any excess fat or connective tissue.
  • Cook the giblets in a flavorful liquid. This could be broth, water, or even white wine.
  • Simmer the giblets for at least 30 minutes. This will help to tenderize them and extract their flavor.
  • Strain the giblets from the cooking liquid. Reserve the liquid to make the gravy.
  • Make a roux. This is a mixture of butter and flour that will help to thicken the gravy.
  • Whisk the roux into the cooking liquid. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook until it has thickened.
  • Season the gravy to taste. Add salt, pepper, and any other desired seasonings.
  • Serve the gravy over your favorite dishes. It's perfect with turkey, chicken, or mashed potatoes.

Conclusion:

Giblet gravy is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It's a great way to use up leftover giblets from your Thanksgiving or Christmas turkey. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a flavorful gravy that will add a touch of elegance to any meal.
