Turkey giblets are edible when properly prepared and are the secret to a flavorful gravy. Use this easy recipe for our Perfect Roast Turkey.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Soups, Stews & Stocks     Soup Recipes

Yield Makes about 2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 7

Giblets (heart, gizzard, and liver) and neck, reserved from turkey
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 onion, peeled and cut into 1/4-inch cubes
1 rib celery with leaves, stalk cut into 1/4-inch cubes, leaves roughly chopped
1 small leek, trimmed, washed and cut into 1/4-inch cubes
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
1 dried bay leaf

Steps:

  • Trim any fat or membrane from giblets. The liver should not have the gallbladder, a small green sac, attached. If it is, trim off carefully, removing part of the liver if necessary. Do not pierce sac; the liquid it contains is very bitter. Rinse giblets and neck; pat dry.
  • In a medium saucepan, melt 3 tablespoons butter over medium heat. Add chopped onions, celery and leaves, and leeks. Cook, stirring occasionally, until onions are translucent, about 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper; cook another 5 minutes. Add 4 cups water, bay leaf, gizzard, heart, and neck (do not add liver; it needs to be cooked separately or it makes the stock bitter). Bring to a boil, then reduce to simmer. Cook for 45 minutes, or until gizzard is tender when pierced with the tip of a knife.
  • Meanwhile, chop the liver finely. Melt remaining tablespoon of butter in a small skillet over medium-low heat. Add liver and cook, stirring constantly, 4 to 6 minutes, until liver no longer releases any blood and is fully cooked. Set aside.
  • After 45 minutes of simmering, the liquid should reduce to about 2 1/2 cups. If it has not, increase the heat and cook another 10 to 15 minutes.
  • Strain broth. Chop gizzard and heart very fine and add to strained broth along with chopped liver. Pick meat off neck and add to broth. Set aside until needed for gravy.

GIBLET STOCK



Giblet Stock image

Giblets, which are the heart, gizzard, and liver of turkeys and other fowl, along with the neck, can be used to make a rich stock for homemade gravy. The liver should be cooked separately before being added to the stock, or it will make it too bitter. To save time, you can make this stock while your turkey is roasting.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Soups, Stews & Stocks     Soup Recipes

Yield Makes about 3 cups

Number Of Ingredients 9

Giblets and neck, reserved from turkey
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 onion, cut into 1/4-inch pieces
1 stalk celery with leaves, stalk cut into 1/4-inch pieces, leaves roughly chopped
1 small leek, white and pale-green parts only, halved lengthwise, cut into 1/4-inch pieces, washed well and drained
1/2 teaspoon coarse salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
4 cups water
1 dried bay leaf

Steps:

  • Trim any fat or membrane from the giblets. The liver should not have the gallbladder (a small green sac) attached. If it is, trim it off carefully, removing bits of the liver if necessary. Do not pierce the sac; the liquid it contains is very bitter. Rinse giblets and neck, and pat dry.
  • In a medium saucepan, melt 3 tablespoons butter over medium heat. Add onion, celery, and leek. Cook, stirring occasionally, until onions are translucent, about 8 minutes. Add salt and pepper, and cook 1 minute more.
  • Add the water, bay leaf, gizzard, heart, and neck (do not add the liver). Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, and reduce to a full simmer. Cook until gizzard is tender when pierced with a paring knife, about 45 minutes. Transfer gizzard, heart, and neck to a plate, and set aside. The liquid should be released to about 3 cups; if not, raise the heat, and cook 10 to 15 minutes more.
  • Meanwhile, finely chop liver. Melt remaining tablespoon butter in a small skillet over medium-low heat. Add liver, and cook, stirring constantly, until it no longer releases any blood, 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer to a plate, and cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate until ready to use.
  • Strain stock through a fine sieve into an airtight container, discarding bay leaf; let stand until grease rises to the top, and skim off with a large spoon. Finely chop gizzard and heart, and pull meat from neck; add to stock along with reserved liver. Refrigerate until ready to use.

Categories     Soup/Stew     Onion     turkey     Thanksgiving     Celery     Carrot     White Wine     Winter     Simmer     Gourmet

Yield Makes 4 1/2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 9

Neck and giblets (excluding liver) from turkey
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 celery rib, coarsely chopped
1 carrot, coarsely chopped
1 large onion, coarsely chopped
2 garlic cloves, smashed
1 cup dry white wine
3 cups water
3 cups reduced-sodium chicken broth

Steps:

  • Pat neck and giblets dry. Heat oil in a heavy medium pot over medium-high heat until it shimmers, then brown neck and giblets, turning occasionally, about 5 minutes. Add vegetables and garlic and sauté until golden, about 5 minutes. Add wine and boil 1 minute. Add remaining ingredients, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper and briskly simmer, uncovered, until reduced to 4 1/2 cups, 45 minutes to 1 hour. (If you have less, add water; if you have more, continue to reduce.) Strain through a large sieve into a large bowl, discarding solids. Skim off and discard fat.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, high-quality giblets. This will ensure that your stock has a rich flavor.
  • Clean the giblets thoroughly. Remove any excess fat or tissue, and rinse them well under cold water.
  • Use a variety of vegetables to add flavor to your stock. Onions, celery, carrots, and garlic are all good choices.
  • Simmer the stock for at least 2 hours, or longer if possible. This will allow the flavors to develop and deepen.
  • Strain the stock before using it. This will remove any solids, such as bones or vegetables.
  • Use the stock within a few days, or freeze it for later use.

Conclusion:

Making giblet stock is a great way to use up leftover giblets and create a flavorful base for soups, stews, and sauces. With just a few simple ingredients and a little time, you can easily make your own delicious giblet stock at home.
