Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 package turkey giblets and neck (do not include the liver)
  • 4 cups water
  • 1 cup turkey drippings
  • 0.5 cup cold water
  • 6 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1 large hard-cooked egg, chopped
  • Salt and ground black pepper to taste

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Gather all your ingredients.
  2. Combine turkey giblets, the neck, and 4 cups of water in a saucepan. Bring it to a gentle boil.
  3. Reduce the heat and let it simmer until the broth is reduced to about 3 cups, which should take around 1 hour.
  4. After simmering, strain the broth and set aside ½ cup of the giblets.
Cooking
  1. In a separate saucepan, mix the strained broth with the turkey drippings over medium heat.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the ½ cup of cold water and cornstarch until it’s smooth, then add this mixture to the broth and bring it back to a boil.
  3. While the broth heats up, chop the reserved giblets finely.
  4. Lower the heat and stir the giblets and chopped hard-cooked egg into the gravy.
  5. Allow it to simmer for about 5 minutes or until the gravy thickens. Finally, season with salt and black pepper to taste.

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or freeze in small portions for up to 2 months. Reheat gently on the stove to avoid separation. To keep gravy smooth, whisk cornstarch well before adding it to the broth. Add a splash of white wine for depth if desired.
