Turkey Giblet Gravy is a classic recipe that is often made during the Thanksgiving season. It is made using the giblets of the turkey, including the neck, gizzard, and liver, which are boiled down in a pot with various herbs and vegetables to create a flavorful broth. The broth is then thickened with flour to create a creamy gravy that is poured over tender turkey meat and creamy mashed potatoes. While some may be hesitant to try the giblets, this savory gravy is a staple dish that will be well-received at any holiday gathering.

Instructions

1.	In a large pot, boil turkey giblets, neck, gizzard, liver, sage, celery, and onion for 45 minutes.
2.	Remove giblets and strain broth, removing any unwanted pieces.
3.	In a skillet, whisk seasoned flour into 2 cups of giblet broth, stirring constantly until thickened.
4.	Add the giblets back to the skillet and heat through.
5.	Season with salt and pepper to taste.
