Giblet Stock:

1 tablespoon canola oil

1 turkey neck, reserved from turkey and cut in half

1 turkey backbone, reserved from turkey and cut in half

1 set giblets, reserved from turkey

1 small onion, quartered

1 medium carrot, quartered

1 stalk celery, quartered

1/4 teaspoon kosher salt

6 cups water

2 sprigs fresh thyme

1 sprig fresh rosemary

1 bay leaf

1 teaspoon whole black peppercorns

Giblet Gravy:

1 tablespoon all-purpose flour

1 tablespoon potato starch

1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, finely chopped

1 teaspoon fresh sage, finely chopped

1/2 teaspoon fresh thyme, finely chopped

1 teaspoon kosher salt

1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

For the giblet stock: Heat the oil in a 6 1/2-quart stockpot over medium heat until it shimmers. Add the neck and backbone and saute 5 to 6 minutes or until browned. Add the giblets, onion, carrot, celery and kosher salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are softened, 4 to 5 minutes. Pour in the water and add the thyme, rosemary, bay leaf and black peppercorns.
Cover and bring to a boil over high heat. Uncover, reduce heat to low and simmer for 1 1/2 hours or until the stock reduces to 3 cups.
Strain the stock through a fine mesh strainer and cool slightly. Discard all solids but the giblets. Chop the giblets and set aside.
For the giblet gravy: Place 2 cups of the giblet stock in a 4-quart saucier over medium heat.
Combine 1/2 cup of cool stock with the all-purpose flour in a jar with a tightly fitted lid. Shake vigorously until starch dissolves and no lumps remain.
Gradually add the flour slurry to stock, whisking constantly. Bring to a boil and cook for 3 to 4 minutes or until thickened slightly.
Combine the remaining 1/2 cup of cool stock with the potato starch in the lidded jar and shake vigorously until the starch dissolves and no lumps remain.
Turn off the heat, remove the saucier from the burner and whisk until the liquid temperature decreases to 190 degrees F. Return to low heat and whisk in the potato starch slurry, rosemary, sage, thyme, salt and pepper. Simmer for about 5 minutes to heat through and thicken, then season with additional salt and pepper, if desired. Add the chopped giblets and stir to combine. Keep warm in a thermos until ready to serve.

Turkey neck gravy is full of fabulous flavor. Here's how to make it!

Some people are squeamish when it comes to the innards and neck of a turkey and may even throw them away. But once you've tried this turkey neck gravy, you'll see just what a shame it is to waste these parts that contain so much flavor.

This might be the best gravy you've ever had - and it's so easy to make!

The name of these innards is the 'giblets' and these are made up of the neck, gizzard (which comes from the digestive tract), heart and liver. The only part of the giblets not used in this recipe is the liver. This is because liver cooked in stock can cause the gravy to taste quite bitter.

Besides, chicken liver tastes rather good just fried in a pan with a little butter, so it doesn't need to go to waste. Or you can cook it separately to the rest of the gravy, then chop it finely and add it to your gravy once it is cooked.

Another great option for the liver is to cook it, chop it finely and add it to your stuffing. You'll be amazed by the lovely rich flavor it imparts!

This turkey neck gravy tastes just wonderful poured over your roasted turkey, but you can also use it as a tasty base for soups, casseroles and stews. It's also delicious poured over mashed potatoes.

Once prepared, you should only keep turkey neck gravy in the refrigerator for up to 2 days in a sealed container. When you go to use it again, you may find it has thickened, but you can easily thin it with a little water or chicken stock.

Can you cook the turkey with the giblets still inside?

Usually, the only reason giblets are cooked inside the turkey is because the person doing the cooking left them in there by mistake!

If the giblets were wrapped in a paper bag prior to cooking, there shouldn't be a problem. Although paper isn't a desirable ingredient in your roasted turkey, it shouldn't do any harm. You can safely eat the turkey AND the giblets, if you desire.

But if the giblets were wrapped in plastic, leaving them in there while you cook the turkey is - sadly - a bit of a disaster. The plastic will likely have melted, leaching chemicals into your food, and leaving the turkey and the giblets inedible.

Moral of the story? ALWAYS check the turkey for giblets before cooking!
