This article provides two recipes for giblet stock: a basic recipe and a more flavorful recipe that includes additional ingredients such as vegetables, herbs, and spices.

Yield Makes 4 cups

Number Of Ingredients 10

Neck and giblets (excluding liver) from turkey
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 celery rib, coarsely chopped
1 carrot, coarsely chopped
1 onion, peeled and quartered
10 cups water
1 Turkish bay leaf or 1/2 California

Add remaining ingredients and simmer, uncovered, until neck and giblets are very tender, about 3 hours. Pour stock through a large fine-mesh sieve into a bowl, reserving gizzard and heart for gravy if desired but discarding remaining solids. If using broth right away, let stand until fat rises to top, 1 to 2 minutes, then skim off and discard fat.

GIBLET STOCK



Giblet Stock image

Make this flavorful giblet stock for Thanksgiving, or whenever you plan on cooking a turkey dinner.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Yield Makes 2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 7

Giblets (heart, gizzard, and liver) and neck, reserved from turkey
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
1 onion, peeled and cut into 1/4-inch cubes
1 rib celery with leaves, stalk cut into 1/4-inch cubes, leaves roughly chopped
1 small leek, trimmed, washed, and cut into 1/4-inch cubes
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
1 dried bay leaf

Steps:

  • Trim any fat or membrane from giblets. The liver should not have the gallbladder, a small green sac, attached. If it is attached, trim off carefully, removing part of liver if necessary. Do not pierce sac; the liquid it contains is very bitter. Rinse giblets and neck; pat dry.
  • In a medium saucepan, melt 3 tablespoons butter over medium heat. Add chopped onions, celery stalk and leaves, and leeks. Cook, stirring occasionally, until onions are translucent, about 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper; cook another 5 minutes. Add 4 cups water, bay leaf, gizzard, heart, and neck (do not add liver; it needs to be cooked separately or it makes the stock bitter). Bring to a boil, then reduce to simmer. Cook for 45 minutes, or until gizzard is tender when pierced with the tip of a knife.
  • Meanwhile, chop the liver finely. Melt remaining tablespoon of butter in a small skillet over medium-low heat. Add liver and cook, stirring constantly, 4 to 6 minutes, until liver no longer releases any blood and is fully cooked. Set aside.
  • After 45 minutes of simmering, the liquid from the heart and gizzard stock should reduce to about 2 1/2 cups. If it has not, increase heat and cook another 10 to 15 minutes.
  • Strain broth. Chop gizzard and heart very fine and add to strained broth, along with chopped liver. Pick meat off neck and add to broth. Set aside until needed for gravy.

Tips:

  • Choose the right giblets: Giblets from organic, free-range birds are ideal for making stock.
  • Clean the giblets thoroughly: Remove any excess fat or connective tissue, and rinse the giblets well under cold water.
  • Roast the giblets before simmering: Roasting the giblets adds a rich, flavorful depth to the stock.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: A combination of vegetables, such as carrots, celery, and onions, adds flavor and nutrients to the stock.
  • Season the stock well: Use a combination of herbs, spices, and salt to taste.
  • Simmer the stock for several hours: The longer the stock simmers, the more flavorful it will be. A minimum of 2 hours is recommended.
  • Strain the stock: Once the stock has finished simmering, strain it through a fine-mesh sieve to remove any solids.
  • Store the stock properly: Stock can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 days, or in the freezer for up to 3 months.

Conclusion:

Making giblet stock is a great way to use up leftover giblets from a Thanksgiving or holiday turkey. It's also a flavorful and versatile ingredient that can be used in a variety of dishes, such as soups, stews, and gravies. By following these tips, you can make a delicious and nutritious giblet stock that will add depth and flavor to your favorite recipes.
