Description
Giblet gravy is the perfect accompaniment to your holiday meal. Made from the giblets of a turkey, turkey or chicken broth, and a rich roux, this savory gravy is packed with flavor. It’s the ideal topping for turkey, mashed potatoes, or stuffing, bringing warmth and richness to your feast.
Ingredients
Scale
- Giblets from one turkey (heart, gizzard, liver)
- 4 cups turkey or chicken broth
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup butter
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- In a saucepan, bring the giblets and broth to a boil. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 1 hour.
- Remove the giblets from the broth, chop them finely, and set them aside. Reserve the broth.
- In a separate saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Stir in the flour to make a roux.
- Gradually whisk in the reserved broth until smooth. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly.
- Reduce heat and simmer until thickened, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in the chopped giblets and season with salt and pepper.
- Serve hot over turkey, mashed potatoes, or stuffing.
Notes
- If you don’t have turkey giblets, chicken giblets work as a substitute.
- To make a smoother gravy, you can strain the broth before adding it to the roux.
- For a richer flavor, try adding a splash of white wine or a few herbs like thyme or rosemary to the broth while simmering the giblets.
