AWESOME TURKEY GIBLET STOCK

Steps:

• In a large saucepan, combine the neck and giblets (excluding the liver), 6 cups water, celery, carrot, onion, tangerine zest, bay leaf, and peppercorns. Bring mixture to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer, skimming the froth occasionally, for 1 hour. Add liver and continue to cook at a bare simmer for an additional 30 minutes.

There should be about 3 cups of stock. If there is more, simmer the stock until it is reduced to about 3 cups; if there is less, add enough water to measure about 3 cups.

GIBLET STOCK

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.

TURKEY GIBLET GRAVY

Steps:

• Place turkey giblets and neck into a saucepan with 4 cups water and bring to a boil; reduce heat to low. Simmer until broth is reduced to 3 cups, about 1 hour. Strain broth and reserve 1/2 cup of giblets; chop.
• Combine giblet broth and turkey drippings in a saucepan over medium heat. Whisk cornstarch in 1/2 cup cold water in a bowl until smooth. Whisk cornstarch into stock and drippings. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, and stir chopped giblets and hard-cooked egg into the gravy. Season with salt and black pepper. Simmer until gravy is thickened, about 5 minutes.

CREAMY GIBLET GRAVY

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.

TURKEY GIBLET STOCK

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.
