GIBLET GRAVY



Giblet Gravy image

Here's how to make the perfect turkey gravy. Ree Drummond's giblet gravy recipe is luscious, irresistible, and deserves a spot on your Thanksgiving table!

Categories     Thanksgiving     comfort food     poultry     side dish     snack

Time 25m

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

Giblets and neck, saved from the uncooked turkey
Drippings from roasted turkey
1/2 c. all-purpose flour (more if needed)
4 c. no-sodium chicken, turkey, or vegetable broth (more if needed)
Salt and pepper

Steps:

  • First, take the giblets and neck from the raw turkey and cover them with water by 2 inches in a small saucepan. Bring to a gentle boil over medium heat, then reduce the heat to low and simmer it for 1 hour to both to cook the meat and to make a giblet broth for the gravy.
  • Remove the giblets and neck from the water (don't worry; they're supposed to look really grody) and set them aside. Keep the giblet broth in the saucepan for later.
  • When you're ready to make the gravy, pour all the drippings from the turkey roasting pan into a bowl. Set the pan back onto the stove. Let the drippings sit and separate naturally, then use a ladle to carefully separate the fat from the liquid drippings (the fat will be on top, while the drippings will settle at the bottom).
  • Turn the heat to medium and add about 1 cup of the fat back into the roasting pan. Sprinkle the flour all over the fat and immediately begin whisking it around to make a paste. Add more flour or fat as needed to create the right consistency: You want the mixture to be a stirrable paste and not overly greasy. If it looks a little greasy, whisk in a little more flour. Once the paste/roux is the right consistency, whisk it slowly for a few minutes, allowing it to cook to a deep golden brown color. A nice brown roux is the secret to good gravy, baby!
  • Once the roux is ready, pour in 1 cup of the drippings (the stuff that separated from the fat earlier) and the chicken or turkey broth, whisking constantly. Then just let the gravy cook and thicken, whisking constantly for 5 to 8 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, use your fingers to remove as much of the neck meat as you can and chop up the giblets into fine pieces. Add as much of the meat to the gravy as you'd like: Add it all if you like a really chunky giblet gravy, add a little less if you like the gravy more smooth.
  • If the gravy seems too thick, add more broth and/or a little of the reserved giblet broth (the water used to cook the giblets.) Finally, season the gravy with a little bit of salt and plenty of black pepper! (Be sure to taste it and make sure the seasoning is perfect.) Serve the gravy piping hot at the table.

GIBLET GRAVY

Provided by Ree Drummond : Food Network

Time 50m

Yield 16 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 bag giblets
Turkey drippings
5 to 6 tablespoons flour
2 to 4 cups low sodium chicken broth
Freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Pour the contents of the giblet bags into a large saucepan. Cover with water and boil until cooked through, 20 to 25 minutes. Turn off the heat and set aside. Remove the giblets from the pan, allow them to cool, and then chop up the gizzards and liver. Pick the meat from the neck. Discard the bones.
  • Pour all the turkey drippings out of the roasting pan into a separate container. Allow grease to separate from the juices. Ladle out the fat into another bowl.
  • Place the roasting pan over 2 burners over medium heat (there should be lots of yummy brown bits in the pan). Add 3 to 4 tablespoons of the fat back into the pan. Whisk it around to evenly distribute it throughout the pan. Sprinkle 5 to 6 tablespoons of flour over the grease and whisk to combine it with the fat, loosening the bits from the bottom of the pan a little in the process. Cook the roux until it becomes a deep golden brown, 4 to 5 minutes.
  • Pour in the chicken broth, whisking constantly. Add 2 to 4 cups, depending on your need. Cook the gravy, whisking gently, until the mixture begins to thicken. Pour in a little bit of the turkey drippings, but be aware that because the brine is so salty, these drippings are very salty. Keep cooking the gravy until thick, adding in chopped giblets, to taste, as well as plenty of black pepper. Use the giblet water from the saucepan to thin the gravy if it gets too thick.
  • Serve when very thick and flavorful.

- giblets and necks reserved from turkey or roasting hen
4 cup(s) water

1 teaspoon(s) salt
1/2 teaspoon(s) pepper

- salt and pepper to taste

Steps:

  • I love our giblet gravy with: https://www.justapinch.com/recipe/diane-smith/our-family-tradition-chicken-and-dressing/chicken
  • Combine giblets, neck, and water in saucepan. Bring to a boil; cover, reduce heat and simmer for 1 hour or until meat is tender. Strain, reserving broth. Discard turkey neck (pull any meat remaining on the neck to include in gravy). Coarsley chop giblets; set aside. (NOTE: I PERSONALLY DON'T CARE FOR LIVER IN THIS GRAVY SO I DON'T INCLUDE IT, I DISGARD IT OR COOK IT AND GIVE MY PUPPIES A TREAT)
  • Skim and discard fat from reserved pan drippings of roasted turkey or hen. Add reserved broth (at least 2 1/2 cups) to pan drippings; stir until browned bits are loosened from bottom of roasting pan.
  • Transfer broth and dripping to a saucepan to continue cooking over a medium heat. Stir in chopped giblets; add onions, celery, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil and reduce heat. Simmer uncovered for 30 minutes.
  • Combine cornstarch and 1/4 cup water, stirring well; gradually stir into gravy. Bring to boil; boil for 1 minute or until thickened. Stir in boiled egg; add salt and pepper to taste. Serve hot over dressing.
  • NOTE: you can use flour in place of cornstarch to make a thickening base for gravy. In fact my mother always used flour, I use cornstarch. Just be sure to blend it well with small amount of water to make a paste, then add remaining water and mix well. Don't want any lumps!

MAMA DEE'S SPAGHETTI SAUCE



Mama Dee's Spaghetti Sauce image

This recipe is semi homemade with the help of sauce from a jar, canned tomatoes & tomato paste. But when I put my own spin on things and add my secret ingredient, it makes this the best sauce I have ever eaten. I freeze leftover sauce to make lasagna, baked ziti or penne, rigatoni or . I have gotten my family used to whole grain pasta, and that is all I use to make all of these dishes. I hope you enjoy this as much as my family does.

Provided by Dee Stillwell @LILLYDEE

Categories     Other Sauces

Number Of Ingredients 19

1 pound(s) italian sweet sausage
2 - 3 pound(s) lean ground beef, more for meatier sauce
1 large onion, finely diced
6 clove(s) garlic, grated into meat
1 - 28 oz can(s) crushed tomatoes
1 - 36 oz jar(s) any spagetti sauce
2 - 6 oz can(s) tomato paste
1 1/2 can(s) of water from the crushed tomato can
1 1/2 teaspoon(s) seasoned salt
1 teaspoon(s) fresh cracked pepper
2 tablespoon(s) dried basil
1 tablespoon(s) italian seasoning
1 tablespoon(s) dried oregano
3 large bay leaves
1/2 teaspoon(s) dried thyme
1/8 teaspoon(s) ground cloves
3 tablespoon(s) brown sugar
THE SECRET INGREDIENT(MAKES SCE HAVE A RICH, DEEP FLAVOR)
4 - 24 grm package(s) brown gravy mix

Steps:

  • Brown sausage and ground beef in large saute pan. Sprinle with the seasoned salt and pepper. Add diced onion to meat and saute 3-4 minutes. Grate in garlic and cook another 3 minutes. Set aside.
  • In large 6 quart crock pot or slow cooker vessle, empty all cans and put water and rest of seasonings into it. Save brown sugar and gravy mix for last 30 minutes of cooking. This sounds like alot of spices but the ones I use, it takes that much. If u want to use less then taste half way thru cooking and see if you need to add more.
  • Add meat mixture to sauce mixture, stir well to blend. Cook on high for 1 hour until it is rapidly simmering. Turn to low and let simmer for 3-4 hours. As sauce cooks, if it appears to be getting to thick add a little more water at a time if needed. The last 30 minutes whisk in the gravy mix and brown sugar thoroughly. Let simmer 20-30 minutes longer.
  • This makes enough sauce for at least 3 meals in our family. The first nite we have it over whole wheat spaghetti noodles. I always cook extra noodles so we can have our favorite, fried spaghetti, the next nite. I then freeze the rest to make lasagna at a later date.

NANA'S GIBLET GRAVY



Nana's Giblet Gravy image

This goes all over Nana's Thanksgiving and Christmas Pan Dressing. Nana is my DH's mother, a wonderful woman, mother and cook! If you made the dressing, you should have at least 4 cups of nice seasoned broth leftover from that recipe, just add water to make up the difference...OMG, I can't wait till I can have this again! Nobody does it better than Nana...and now I can try to copy her traditions too much to my DH's happiness! I use my pressure cooker to reduce the long simmering needed for tender meat bits. But, cook time will include simmering gizzard and giblets for one hour. Also, expect for some of the cook time to be active cook time, frequent stirring.

Provided by Caryn Dalton

Categories     Christmas

Time 1h35m

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

reserved turkey giblets
1/2 cup chicken liver
1 cup chicken gizzard
4 -5 cups of reserved broth (including cooled broth)
4 eggs, boiled and chopped
2 tablespoons butter
1 small onion, peeled and chopped fine
1/4 cup cooking sherry or 1/4 cup dry white wine
1/2 cup cooled reserved broth or 1/2 cup water
10 tablespoons Wondra Flour or 10 tablespoons flour
2 tablespoons turkey drippings, skimmed of fat
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme, crushed
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 dash white pepper
4 of my microwave roasted garlic cloves, chopped fine (recipe #250855) or 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

Steps:

  • If you have a pressure cooker, use it to cook the whole gizzards and giblets (reserve the livers for now) on high pressure for about 7 minutes in your reserved broth except for the 1/2 cup cooled reserved broth. Use your quick release (or bring pressure down naturally). If you don't have a pressure cooker, simmer the gizzards and giblets (reserve the livers for now) whole in just enough of reserved broth to cover in a pot with a tightly fitting lid for 1 hour. Drain and add whole gizzards and giblets to a large saucepan, add livers and broth and on medium low heat cook COVERED for about 10 more minutes. Remove meat and set aside to cool. When cool, chop finely and mix all meat parts together. Reserve all broth.
  • Meanwhile, in a small saucepan with lid, bring 4 eggs and enough water to cover to boil. As soon as you notice a boil, turn off heat and cover but leave the pot on the burner. Set a timer for 12 minutes. During that time, get a small bowl of ice water ready. When 15 minutes is up, strain and rinse eggs under cool water. Immerse in ice bath until completely cool. Peel eggs, beginning with a crack on the wide end. Chop eggs and set aside.
  • Meanwhile, in a small pan, melt 2 TB of butter and saute chopped onion until limp and clear about 5-7 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, in a large heavy bottom skillet with no heat, whisk together sherry (or white wine),1/2 cup cooled broth, Wondra flour, drippings, thyme, salt and pepper(s) sauteed onion and microwave roasted garlic (or powder). Turn heat on medium low, stirring frequently until thickened.
  • Measure reserved broth. You should have about 4-5 cups of broth left. If not, add more water or canned broth till you get 5 cups. Very Very slowly, pour a small stream of broth into your flour mixture and whisk like crazy until all broth has been incorporated. I whisk in the shape of a figure eight in the pan to get the best effect. Cook, stirring constantly until thickened to a consistency that is slightly more runny than gravy about 4 more minutes.
  • Ladle over served portions of Nana's Thanksgiving and Christmas Pan Dressing and oh, be sure and wear the pants that have some room to grow ::-o.

OUR FAMILY TRADITION CHICKEN AND DRESSING - DEE DEE'S



Our Family Tradition Chicken and Dressing - Dee Dee's image

Boiling the chicken is recommended for this recipe because the broth makes the dressing. You can't make old-fashioned corn bread dressing without it. So please, don't use broth from a can for this recipe. It's definitely not the same. My mother & grandmother always made Cornbread Turkey and Dressing for our holiday meals. This recipe is their's, only I've added bell pepper and garlic for my own personal taste. I find using a fryer or roasting hen in place of a turkey works out well for us, since I'm only cooking for two now. If I'm cooking for a larger crowd I'll opt for a turkey.

2 to 3 quart(s) water
1/3 cup(s) each: celery, onion, bell pepper, chopped
2 clove(s) garic, minced
- salt and pepper
INGREDIENTS FOR CORNBREAD DRESSING
1 large skillet of your favorite cornbread to which you added 1 cup each of celery, green pepper, and onions before baking.
- salt and pepper to taste
1 to 2 tablespoon(s) poultry seasoning
1 1/2 to 2 tablespoon(s) sage, ground
1 plus cup(s) chicken broth
1 can(s) cream of chicken soup
4 - eggs
3 or 4 - dinner rolls
1/2 cup(s) butter or margarine

Steps:

  • The beautiful gravy pictured with this dressing is our Lynn Socko's Chicken Gravy: https://www.justapinch.com/recipe/lynn-socko/chicken-gravy/quick-easy-healthy-gravy?k=chicken+gravy&p=1&o=r
  • If you prefer a giblet gravy with dressing, this is a wonderful old fashion gravy that we've use for a very long time: https://www.justapinch.com/recipe/diane-smith/mamas-giblet-gravy-dee-dees/gravy
  • DIRECTIONS FOR CHICKEN AND BROTH
  • You need 1 large fryer (whole chicken) Remove gizzards/livers inside chicken, and then wash in clear water. Place in large pot with 2 to 3 quarts water; add salt, pepper, 2 cloves of garlic, chopped fine, add 1/3 cup of each chopped vegetables; onions, green pepper, and celery to the pot.
  • Cover and cook on high heat until it starts to boil. Reduce heat and continue boiling about 35 to 45 minutes or until almost done. Remove from pot. Set aside. Keep chicken broth. Remember the broth is what makes the dressing.
  • DIRECTIONS FOR CORNBREAD DRESSING
  • You will need a very large bowl to combine ingredients for dressing. Break hot cornbread into bite size pieces, add margarine or butter. Add salt, pepper, poultry seasoning, and sage. Add Cream of Chicken Soup and eggs. Continue mixing. Add a cup of broth to start, add rolls. Mix well. Add more broth until dressing is the texture desired. Set aside.
  • Lightly rub top of chicken with margarine then sprinkle with paprika. Bake at 425 degree until done about 30 minutes.
  • Next, pour dressing in a large deep greased casserole dish and bake dressing until hot all the way through and top and edges start to brown about 30 to 40 minutes. NOTE: oven temps vary so watch close, you don't want a runny dressing and you don't want it dry.
  • IMPORTANT TIPS TO REMEMBER: • For a drier dressing use less broth, for a moist dressing, use more broth. • When using poultry and sage seasoning, use according to your taste. You may want to add more seasonings or less, just be careful not to add too much, it will overpower the natural flavors. Seasonings make or break the flavor in corn bread dressing. • Make the dressing a day before serving. This gives the seasonings time to spread flavor throughout. Just make sure you cover and store in the refrigerator until ready to use. • For more flavor, cut up chicken gizzards and livers in dressing before baking.

ROAST TURKEY WITH GIBLET GRAVY



Roast Turkey with Giblet Gravy image

Provided by James Peterson

Categories     turkey     Roast     Thanksgiving     Dinner     Sugar Conscious     Peanut Free     Tree Nut Free     Soy Free     No Sugar Added

Yield Makes 12 main-course servings with leftovers

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 turkey with giblets, about 20 pounds, at room temperature
Salt
Pepper
Butter
3 tablespoons flour
3 cups chicken broth, or as needed

Steps:

  • Season the turkey on the outside with salt and pepper, and place it, breast side up, in a heavy roasting pan just large enough to accommodate it. Arrange the liver, neck, and gizzard around the turkey. (The giblets are often in a little package hidden in the neck end of the bird.) Fold a sheet of aluminum foil to create a triple thickness, making it just large enough to cover the breast. Rub butter evenly on one side of the folded foil, then place it, buttered side down, over the breast.
  • Slide the bird into the oven and turn on the oven to 350°F (there is no need to preheat). Roast for about 1 hour. Remove the foil and continue to roast the turkey for about 1 1/2 hours longer, or until a thermometer inserted into the space between the thigh and the breast without touching bone reads 140°F. Transfer the turkey to a platter, tent loosely with aluminum foil, and let rest in a warm spot for at least 20 minutes before carving.
  • To make the gravy, remove the liver, gizzard, and neck from the roasting pan. Remove the meat from the neck and discard the bones. Place the neck meat, gizzard, and liver in a food processor and pulse until finely ground. Do not process to a paste. Set the giblets aside.
  • Check the juices in the roasting pan. If you have a lot of juices, transfer them to a glass pitcher, skim off the fat with a ladle, and return 3 tablespoons of the fat to the pan. If you have very few juices, place the pan on the stove top, boil down the juices until they caramelize on the bottom of the pan and separate from the fat, and pour off all but 3 tablespoons of the fat. Add the flour to the fat in the pan over medium heat and stir together for 1 minute to cook the flour and form a roux. If you have degreased juices, add broth to the measuring pitcher to total 3 cups. Gradually stir in the broth or broth-juices mixture and continue to stir over medium to medium-high heat until the roux and the caramelized juices dissolve into the gravy and the gravy is smooth and has thickened to a nice consistency. Add the ground giblets, stir well, and season with salt and pepper. Pour the gravy into a warmed sauceboat.
  • Carve the bird and serve with the gravy.

Tips:

  • Use fresh giblets: Fresh giblets will give your gravy a richer flavor. If you can't find fresh giblets, you can use frozen giblets, but be sure to thaw them completely before using.
  • Brown the giblets before making the gravy: Browning the giblets will add depth and flavor to the gravy. To brown the giblets, heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the giblets. Cook the giblets, stirring occasionally, until they are browned on all sides.
  • Use a good quality stock: The stock you use will make a big difference in the flavor of your gravy. Use a stock that is made with real bones and vegetables. Avoid using bouillon cubes or canned stock, as these will not give your gravy as much flavor.
  • Season the gravy to taste: Season the gravy with salt, pepper, and other spices to taste. You can also add a splash of white wine or sherry to the gravy for extra flavor.
  • Thicken the gravy with cornstarch or flour: If you want your gravy to be thicker, you can thicken it with cornstarch or flour. To thicken the gravy with cornstarch, mix 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of water until smooth. Then, stir the cornstarch mixture into the gravy and bring to a boil. Cook the gravy for 1 minute, or until it has thickened to your desired consistency. To thicken the gravy with flour, whisk 1 tablespoon of flour with 2 tablespoons of water until smooth. Then, stir the flour mixture into the gravy and bring to a boil. Cook the gravy for 1 minute, or until it has thickened to your desired consistency.

Conclusion:

Giblet gravy is a delicious and versatile sauce that can be served with a variety of dishes. It is a great way to use up leftover giblets from a holiday meal, and it can also be made with fresh giblets. By following the tips in this article, you can make a delicious and flavorful giblet gravy that your family and friends will love.
