How to Make My Dad's Exceptional Giblet Gravy

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Rinse giblets thoroughly and place them in a baking dish. Add 1 cup of chicken broth and roast for 60 minutes, or until tender.
  3. Remove giblets from oven and let cool slightly. Chop giblets finely.
  4. In a large skillet, melt 4 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add 1/4 cup of all-purpose flour and whisk constantly for 2-3 minutes to create a roux.
  5. Gradually whisk in 4 cups of chicken broth, ensuring no lumps form. Bring to a simmer.
  6. Stir in the chopped giblets and 1 teaspoon of salt. Add 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper.
  7. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, to allow the gravy to thicken.
  8. Stir in 1 tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce and 1/4 teaspoon of freshly grated nutmeg (the secret ingredient!).
  9. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Serve hot over your favorite roasted meats or mashed potatoes.
