How to Make Giblet Gravy
- **Make the Giblet Stock:** In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup giblets and 4 cups water. Bring to a simmer over medium heat.
- **Simmer the Giblets:** Reduce heat to low and simmer gently for 20 minutes, or until giblets are tender.
- **Prepare the Giblets:** Remove giblets from the stock and let cool slightly. Finely chop the giblets.
- **Make the Roux:** In a separate saucepan, melt 1/2 cup poultry fat (or butter) over medium heat. Whisk in 1/4 cup all-purpose flour until smooth and blended. Cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, to create a roux.
- **Combine Ingredients:** Gradually whisk in 2 cups of giblet stock, stirring constantly to prevent lumps. Add 1 cup of turkey or chicken broth, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
- **Simmer and Thicken:** Bring the mixture to a simmer, stirring frequently, for 5-7 minutes, or until the gravy has thickened to your desired consistency and the raw flour taste is gone.
- **Add Giblets:** Stir in the chopped giblets.
- **Heat Through:** Cook for 2 minutes, or until heated through.
- **Adjust Consistency:** If the gravy is too thick, add a little more broth; if it's too thin, simmer uncovered for a few more minutes. If needed, add melted butter to reach a total of 1/2 cup fat in the recipe for richness.
