When it comes to cooking a delicious creamy giblet gravy, there are a few key things to keep in mind. First, be sure to use fresh giblets. This will give your gravy a richer flavor. Second, season the giblets well with salt, pepper, and other herbs and spices. This will help to enhance the flavor of the gravy. Third, cook the giblets until they are tender. This will make them easier to eat and will also help to release their flavor into the gravy. Finally, be sure to thicken the gravy with a roux or cornstarch. This will give it a smooth, creamy texture.

Steps:
- Giblet Stock: In a stock pot, combine the giblets, neck, water, onion, celery, carrot, bay leaf, and thyme. Over high heat, bring to a simmer, then reduce the heat to medium-low. Simmer, uncovered, until the stock is flavorful, about 2 hours. Strain stock through a fine-mesh strainer and into a large bowl, reserving the giblets and discarding the neck. Finely chop giblets and set aside. Set stock aside to cool.
- Place the roasting pan with the turkey drippings across two burners over medium heat. Stir with a wooden spatula, scraping up any browned bits, or "fond," from the bottom of the pan; if necessary, add water to help deglaze the pan. Strain the liquid from the pan through a fine-mesh strainer set over a bowl. Set aside to allow the fat to rise to the top.
- Gravy: First, make a roux. In a saucepan over medium-high heat, add 2 tablespoons of the fat from the strained drippings. Sprinkle in the flour and whisk until the flour is incorporated and no longer raw, 1 minute. Now add the stock, about a ½ cup at a time, whisking continuously and making sure it's completely absorbed before adding more. Small additions of liquid and continuous whisking are the keys to smooth gravy. Whisk in the pan drippings, then taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
- Finally, add cream and chopped giblets; stir, taste, and adjust seasoning again. Keep warm until ready to transfer to gravy boat or bowl.

GIBLET GRAVY
While the turkey is in the oven, get some rest - and make the gravy. Giblet gravy requires the cook to use the neck, gizzard and heart of the bird to make deeply flavored stock, which is then combined with the pan drippings, a bit of flour and wine or brandy. Finally, the cooked neck, gizzard and heart are finely chopped and added to the rich, savory gravy, to make for a more interesting texture.

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.

Tips for Making Creamy Giblet Gravy:
- Use fresh giblets. Fresh giblets will give your gravy a more flavorful and rich taste. You can find fresh giblets at most grocery stores in the poultry section.
- Cook the giblets properly. Be sure to cook the giblets until they are tender but not overcooked. Overcooked giblets will become tough and chewy.
- Make a flavorful roux. The roux is the base of your gravy, so it's important to make it flavorful. Use a good quality butter or oil and cook the flour until it is golden brown.
- Add plenty of seasonings. Don't be afraid to add plenty of seasonings to your gravy. Salt, pepper, garlic, onion, and thyme are all classic seasonings that work well with giblet gravy.
- Use a good quality stock. The stock you use will also have a big impact on the flavor of your gravy. Use a good quality chicken or turkey stock for the best results.
- Simmer the gravy until it is thickened. Once you have added all of the ingredients to your gravy, let it simmer until it has thickened. This will help to develop the flavor and make the gravy more rich and creamy.
- Serve the gravy warm. Creamy giblet gravy is best served warm. You can either serve it immediately after making it or reheat it before serving.
Conclusion:
Creamy giblet gravy is a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is especially popular during the holidays, but it can be enjoyed all year round. With these tips, you can make creamy giblet gravy that is sure to impress your family and friends.
