Giblet Gravy

My mother has made this old-fashioned giblet gravy every Thanksgiving for as long as I can remember! It is delicious with turkey and mashed potatoes. Start making this while the turkey is cooking since it requires about two hours of simmering.

Step: 1

Cut turkey neck in half. Set liver aside.

Step: 2

Combine neck, giblets, broth, onions, carrots, wine, celery, garlic, and bay leaf in a pot. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 1 1/2 hours. Add liver and simmer for 30 minutes more.

Step: 3

Mix flour and butter together to form a thick paste.

Step: 4

Remove and discard neck and giblets. Strain broth, pressing vegetables to extract liquid. Discard vegetables. Add turkey drippings. Add flour mixture gradually and stir until smooth. Bring to a boil and cook until desired thickness is reached, 7 to 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
