Giblet Gravy Recipe: A Southern Thanksgiving Staple

Ingredients

• 1 quart water
• giblets from a turkey
• 0.25 medium yellow onion
• 1 stalk celery, cut in half
• 1 cube chicken bouillon
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 2 (14.5 ounce) cans chicken broth
• 4 large hard-cooked eggs, chopped
• 0.5 cup milk
• 2 tablespoons cornstarch

Instructions

1. Simmer giblets, onion, celery, bouillon, salt, and pepper in water in a 2-quart saucepan for 40 to 50 minutes to create a flavorful base.
2. Remove the liver and neck to a cutting board. Extract the meat from the neck, discarding the bones. Finely chop the liver and neck meat. Discard the celery, onion, and remaining giblets.
3. Return the chopped meat to the saucepan. Incorporate broth and eggs, then heat over medium.
4. In a separate small bowl, blend milk and cornstarch until smooth. Gradually whisk the mixture into the saucepan.
5. Lower the heat to low. Continue stirring until the gravy achieves your desired thickness, approximately 3 to 5 minutes.
