But the contents of that bag (the giblets) are meaty and rich, lending incredible flavor and texture to this turkey giblet gravy recipe. Making giblet gravy is strikingly similar to regular gravy\u2014and using it is just as easy. Use it to smother <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/turkey-and-dressing-bake\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/turkey-and-dressing-bake\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">turkey stuffing casserole<\/a> or add richness to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/herb-roasted-turkey-breast\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/herb-roasted-turkey-breast\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">boneless skinless turkey breast<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2>What are giblets?<\/h2>\n<p>Giblets refer to the little bundle of edible organs stuffed inside a poultry cavity. You&#8217;ll find them in most store-bought turkeys and chickens, and they&#8217;re sometimes included with smaller birds like Cornish game hens. A typical packet contains the gizzards, heart, liver, kidneys and neck. Each piece brings a unique flavor, but giblets generally have a rich taste reminiscent of dark meat poultry.<\/p>\n<p>You can make giblet gravy with the entire bundle, but we recommend saving the liver and neck for another recipe. The liver has a mineral-rich flavor that can make the gravy taste bitter, and it&#8217;s better suited for a dish like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/liver-skillet-supper\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/liver-skillet-supper\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">liver skillet supper<\/a>. The neck benefits from longer simmering times, so reserve it for making <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/homemade-turkey-stock\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/homemade-turkey-stock\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">homemade turkey stock<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2>Giblet Gravy Ingredients<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Turkey giblets: <\/strong>This gravy recipe uses gizzards, hearts and kidneys.

You can make giblet gravy with one or all of these organs.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Chicken stock:<\/strong> Use store-bought or homemade chicken stock (or homemade turkey stock, like the one we use to create <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/make-ahead-turkey-gravy\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/make-ahead-turkey-gravy\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">make-ahead turkey gravy<\/a>).

You&#8217;ll also want to check the ingredients list on store-bought chicken stock, as some brands are made with gluten-containing ingredients like yeast extract.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Add vegetables:\u00a0<\/strong>Simmer finely chopped onions, carrots and celery alongside the giblets to add depth to the gravy.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Make it creamy:<\/strong> Stir in half-and-half or heavy cream just before serving to give the gravy a creamy consistency and silken texture.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Finish with herbs:<\/strong> Garnish the gravy with chopped chives, sage or rosemary.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Can you make giblet gravy ahead of time?<\/h2>\n<p>This giblet gravy recipe comes together so quickly that there&#8217;s really no need to make it ahead of time. However, if you must prepare ahead, you can make half of the recipe in advance. Simmer the giblets in the chicken stock, then strain and chop the giblets as directed. Add the chopped meat and eggs to the cooking juices. Refrigerate, covered, overnight. The next day, warm the mixture on the stovetop, then thicken the gravy as directed.<\/p>\n<h2>How to Store Giblet Gravy<\/h2>\n<p>Store giblet gravy in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. Reheat the gravy in the microwave or a saucepan over low heat. You can also use this gravy to make <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/ways-to-use-leftover-gravy\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/ways-to-use-leftover-gravy\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">leftover turkey gravy recipes<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2>Can you freeze giblet gravy?<\/h2>\n<p>We don&#8217;t recommend freezing this giblet gravy recipe because hard-boiled eggs don&#8217;t freeze well.

Use whichever thickener you&#8217;re more comfortable with. Keep in mind that flour-thickened gravy tends to reheat more evenly, so it may be a better choice if you plan to have leftovers.<\/p>\n<h3>Can you create turkey giblet gravy with a smooth consistency?<\/h3>\n<p>Our turkey giblet gravy recipe has a chunky consistency because of the chopped giblets and eggs, but the gravy can be pureed to create a smoother texture.

Whether you puree it or not, it&#8217;s important to whisk out lumps of thickener.<\/p>\n<h3>How do you serve turkey giblet gravy?<\/h3>\n<p>Turkey giblet gravy is a natural fit for a Thanksgiving meal, and the thick, savory gravy tastes fantastic over sliced <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/seasoned-roast-turkey\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/seasoned-roast-turkey\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">roast turkey<\/a>, stuffing or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/creamy-make-ahead-mashed-potatoes\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/creamy-make-ahead-mashed-potatoes\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">creamy make-ahead mashed potatoes<\/a>.
