Looking for an easy Thanksgiving turkey giblet gravy recipe? This recipe uses cooked giblets, neck meat, and turkey drippings for a tasty homemade gravy.
Servings: 16 servings of ¼ cup each
Calories: 68kcal
Ingredients
- ½ cup meat drippings or butter
- ½ cup flour
- 3 ½ cups meat drippings or stock
- salt to taste
- pepper to taste
Instructions
- Use a fat separating measuring cup or skim the fat off the top of the juice you get from roasting the turkey.
- Warm the turkey fat (or butter) in a medium saucepan over medium heat, add the flour and cook stirring constantly for 1-2 minutes. Slowly stir in the juice portion of the drippings (or broth) and heat to a boil while whisking constantly.
- Continue to cook until thick and bubbly. Add the chopped giblets and salt and pepper to taste.
Notes
I roast my turkey in an electric roaster oven and always have enough fat and juice to make 4 cups of gravy (3 ½ cups of juice and ½ cup of fat). I make the giblet broth as a backup and almost never use it for the gravy.
If you are short on fat you can add butter or oil to it so you have the correct amount. The same is true for the liquid, use either some of the giblet stock you made above or store bought chicken stock so you have the called for amount of broth.
