MAMA'S GIBLET GRAVY - DEE DEE'S

Steps:

• I love our giblet gravy with: https://www.justapinch.com/recipe/diane-smith/our-family-tradition-chicken-and-dressing/chicken
• Combine giblets, neck, and water in saucepan. Bring to a boil; cover, reduce heat and simmer for 1 hour or until meat is tender. Strain, reserving broth. Discard turkey neck (pull any meat remaining on the neck to include in gravy). Coarsley chop giblets; set aside. (NOTE: I PERSONALLY DON'T CARE FOR LIVER IN THIS GRAVY SO I DON'T INCLUDE IT, I DISGARD IT OR COOK IT AND GIVE MY PUPPIES A TREAT)
• Skim and discard fat from reserved pan drippings of roasted turkey or hen. Add reserved broth (at least 2 1/2 cups) to pan drippings; stir until browned bits are loosened from bottom of roasting pan.
• Transfer broth and dripping to a saucepan to continue cooking over a medium heat. Stir in chopped giblets; add onions, celery, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil and reduce heat. Simmer uncovered for 30 minutes.
• Combine cornstarch and 1/4 cup water, stirring well; gradually stir into gravy. Bring to boil; boil for 1 minute or until thickened. Stir in boiled egg; add salt and pepper to taste. Serve hot over dressing.
• NOTE: you can use flour in place of cornstarch to make a thickening base for gravy. In fact my mother always used flour, I use cornstarch. Just be sure to blend it well with small amount of water to make a paste, then add remaining water and mix well. Don't want any lumps!

GIBLET GRAVY

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.

ROAST TURKEY WITH GIBLET GRAVY

Steps:

• Season the turkey on the outside with salt and pepper, and place it, breast side up, in a heavy roasting pan just large enough to accommodate it. Arrange the liver, neck, and gizzard around the turkey. (The giblets are often in a little package hidden in the neck end of the bird.) Fold a sheet of aluminum foil to create a triple thickness, making it just large enough to cover the breast. Rub butter evenly on one side of the folded foil, then place it, buttered side down, over the breast.
• Slide the bird into the oven and turn on the oven to 350°F (there is no need to preheat). Roast for about 1 hour. Remove the foil and continue to roast the turkey for about 1 1/2 hours longer, or until a thermometer inserted into the space between the thigh and the breast without touching bone reads 140°F. Transfer the turkey to a platter, tent loosely with aluminum foil, and let rest in a warm spot for at least 20 minutes before carving.
• To make the gravy, remove the liver, gizzard, and neck from the roasting pan. Remove the meat from the neck and discard the bones. Place the neck meat, gizzard, and liver in a food processor and pulse until finely ground. Do not process to a paste. Set the giblets aside.
• Check the juices in the roasting pan. If you have a lot of juices, transfer them to a glass pitcher, skim off the fat with a ladle, and return 3 tablespoons of the fat to the pan. If you have very few juices, place the pan on the stove top, boil down the juices until they caramelize on the bottom of the pan and separate from the fat, and pour off all but 3 tablespoons of the fat. Add the flour to the fat in the pan over medium heat and stir together for 1 minute to cook the flour and form a roux. If you have degreased juices, add broth to the measuring pitcher to total 3 cups. Gradually stir in the broth or broth-juices mixture and continue to stir over medium to medium-high heat until the roux and the caramelized juices dissolve into the gravy and the gravy is smooth and has thickened to a nice consistency. Add the ground giblets, stir well, and season with salt and pepper. Pour the gravy into a warmed sauceboat.
• Carve the bird and serve with the gravy.

GIBLET GRAVY

Steps:

• Dissolve bouillon cubes in boiling water; add giblets, neck, celery, and onion.

• Cook, stirring constantly, until slightly thickened.
• Dice giblets and stir into gravy before serving.

SMOKY SAGE AND GIBLET GRAVY

Steps:

• Rinse turkey neck, gizzard, heart and wing tips. Place in heavy large saucepan. Add broth, vermouth, carrot, onion, mushrooms, sage and peppercorns. Bring to boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to low; cover pan. Simmer until neck meat is very tender, about 2 hours 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, place liver in heavy small saucepan; cover with cold water. Simmer over medium heat until firm to touch and cooked through, about 5 minutes. Drain.
• Strain broth into small bowl. Transfer neck, gizzard and heart to work surface; discard remaining solids. Carefully remove all meat from neck. Chop meat finely. Cut away any tough membrane from gizzard. Chop gizzard, heart and liver finely. Combine meats in medium bowl. Spoon fat off top of broth and discard. (Giblets and broth can be made 1 day ahead. Cover separately and refrigerate.)
• Gravy
• Baste the turkey occasionally with three to four cups of homemade or canned low-salt chicken broth. That will help to create the rich pan juices that go into the gravy.
• Pour roasting pan juices into medium bowl. Spoon fat off top; discard fat. Return pan juices to roasting pan and set pan over 2 burners. Simmer over medium-high heat 2 minutes, stirring with wooden spoon and scraping up any browned bits from pan bottom. Strain mixture from pan into 4-cup glass measuring cup; add giblet broth. If necessary, add enough canned broth to measure 4 cups liquid or transfer giblet broth mixture to medium saucepan and boil until reduced to 4 cups liquid.
• Cook bacon in heavy large skillet over medium heat until brown and crisp. Using tongs, transfer bacon to paper towels; drain. Discard all but 4 tablespoons drippings from skillet. Add flour. Whisk over medium heat until roux is golden brown, about 3 minutes.
• Whisk in giblet broth mixture. Bring to a boil, whisking occasionally. Reduce heat to medium-low. Mix in vermouth and sage. Simmer until thickened to desired consistency, about 10 minutes. Add chopped meats to gravy. (If desired, chop some or all of the bacon and add to gravy.) Simmer until heated through, about 2 minutes. Season gravy with salt and pepper.
