Steps

  • 1
    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.
  • 2
    Drain giblet mixture, reserving broth and giblets. Discard celery and onion.
  • 3
    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.
  • 4
    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.

Tips from the Pillsbury Kitchens

  • tip 1
    Go ahead and make the giblet broth ahead of time. Drain as directed, then cover and refrigerate the giblets and broth separately.
  • tip 2
    Any leftover gravy is great to serve over biscuits or open-face turkey sandwiches.
