There’s always one person in charge of the gravy during the holidays. At Paula’s house, it’s her Aunt Peggy. We asked Aunt Peggy to walk us through the steps for making this wonderful seasonal gravy. It’s so easy, you may become the gravy maker for your family!

Giblet Gravy

Ingredients:
Giblets from one turkey
1 egg
4 tablespoons rendered fat from roasted whole turkey (may substitute 4 tablespoons butter)
4 tablespoons flour
4 cups chicken or turkey stock
2 teaspoons poultry seasoning
Salt and pepper to taste

Directions:

Step 1: In a medium saucepan, place giblets and egg and cover with water. Simmer until giblets are cooked through. (Approximately 20-30 minutes)

Step 2: In a large saute pan, add rendered fat and flour.

Step 3: Cook this mixture (Roux) until bubbling and caramel in color.

Step 4: Whisk in chicken or turkey stock a cup at a time. Continue whisking until mixture begins to thicken. (If mixture becomes too thick, add more stock)

Step 5: Add poultry seasoning. Salt and pepper to taste. Peel the hard cooked egg and slice. Remove all meat from the giblets and loosely chop. Add egg and chopped giblets to seasoned thick gravy.

Step 6: Heat through and serve hot.

For added flavor and texture, Aunt Peggy likes to add a little prepared cornbread dressing to her gravy.
