We're about to let you in on a secret: The key to smooth and richly flavored turkey gravy lies within the bird itself. We're talking about the giblets. Giblet gravy turns out meaty and luscious, and you can certainly pull it off-even on your first try. We'll show you how it's done with this surefire recipe. Once you get a taste of the depth of flavor that results from turning those odd bits into gravy, you'll never look back. Mashed potatoes and biscuits will forever be better, and your guests will certainly be satisfied!

Steps:
- In 2-quart saucepan, place giblets (except liver); add enough water to cover. Add celery, onion, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Heat to boiling; reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer 1 to 2 hours or until giblets are tender. Add liver during last 15 minutes of cooking.
- Drain giblet mixture, reserving broth and giblets. Discard celery and onion.
- After removing turkey from roasting pan, remove 1/2 cup drippings (turkey juices and fat); reserve. Pour remaining drippings into 2-cup measuring cup; add enough giblet broth and chicken broth to measure 2 cups; set aside.
- Place reserved 1/2 cup drippings in roasting pan or 12-inch skillet. Stir in flour. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly and scraping up brown bits in pan, until smooth and browned. Gradually stir in 2 cups broth mixture. Cook, stirring constantly, until mixture boils and thickens. Remove meat from neck; finely chop meat and giblets and add to gravy if desired. Stir in salt and pepper.
