MAMA'S GIBLET GRAVY - DEE DEE'S

Steps:

• I love our giblet gravy with: https://www.justapinch.com/recipe/diane-smith/our-family-tradition-chicken-and-dressing/chicken
• Combine giblets, neck, and water in saucepan. Bring to a boil; cover, reduce heat and simmer for 1 hour or until meat is tender. Strain, reserving broth. Discard turkey neck (pull any meat remaining on the neck to include in gravy). Coarsley chop giblets; set aside. (NOTE: I PERSONALLY DON'T CARE FOR LIVER IN THIS GRAVY SO I DON'T INCLUDE IT, I DISGARD IT OR COOK IT AND GIVE MY PUPPIES A TREAT)
• Skim and discard fat from reserved pan drippings of roasted turkey or hen. Add reserved broth (at least 2 1/2 cups) to pan drippings; stir until browned bits are loosened from bottom of roasting pan.
• Transfer broth and dripping to a saucepan to continue cooking over a medium heat. Stir in chopped giblets; add onions, celery, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil and reduce heat. Simmer uncovered for 30 minutes.
• Combine cornstarch and 1/4 cup water, stirring well; gradually stir into gravy. Bring to boil; boil for 1 minute or until thickened. Stir in boiled egg; add salt and pepper to taste. Serve hot over dressing.
• NOTE: you can use flour in place of cornstarch to make a thickening base for gravy. In fact my mother always used flour, I use cornstarch. Just be sure to blend it well with small amount of water to make a paste, then add remaining water and mix well. Don't want any lumps!

MOMS GIBLET GRAVY

Steps:

• boil neck and giblets in water cook on low simmer cause you need fat from turkey to make gravy anyway
• you may need to add more water because meat has to come off the bone on the neck and gizzard must be tender so simmer about an hour at least.
• debone neck
• it just peels off when done
• and slice gizzards into small chunks
• i always eat the liver because im the only one that likes it lucky me lol. otherwise cut into small chunks too
• save to add to gravy.
• with fat from drippings cook flour salt and pepper in skillet until light brown make kinda a roux so the ratio of fat to flour is right this you have to stir so doesnt burn
• add stock from giblets
• and stir like crazy to get flour surrounded by water
• and neck meat and giblets
• and stir like crazy add canned milk.
• and simmer until as thick as you like.

GIBLET GRAVY

Steps:

• Pour the contents of the giblet bags into a large saucepan. Cover with water and boil until cooked through, 20 to 25 minutes. Turn off the heat and set aside. Remove the giblets from the pan, allow them to cool, and then chop up the gizzards and liver. Pick the meat from the neck. Discard the bones.
• Pour all the turkey drippings out of the roasting pan into a separate container. Allow grease to separate from the juices. Ladle out the fat into another bowl.
• Place the roasting pan over 2 burners over medium heat (there should be lots of yummy brown bits in the pan). Add 3 to 4 tablespoons of the fat back into the pan. Whisk it around to evenly distribute it throughout the pan. Sprinkle 5 to 6 tablespoons of flour over the grease and whisk to combine it with the fat, loosening the bits from the bottom of the pan a little in the process. Cook the roux until it becomes a deep golden brown, 4 to 5 minutes.
• Pour in the chicken broth, whisking constantly. Add 2 to 4 cups, depending on your need. Cook the gravy, whisking gently, until the mixture begins to thicken. Pour in a little bit of the turkey drippings, but be aware that because the brine is so salty, these drippings are very salty. Keep cooking the gravy until thick, adding in chopped giblets, to taste, as well as plenty of black pepper. Use the giblet water from the saucepan to thin the gravy if it gets too thick.
• Serve when very thick and flavorful.

OUR FAMILY TRADITION CHICKEN AND DRESSING - DEE DEE'S

Steps:

• The beautiful gravy pictured with this dressing is our Lynn Socko's Chicken Gravy: https://www.justapinch.com/recipe/lynn-socko/chicken-gravy/quick-easy-healthy-gravy?k=chicken+gravy&p=1&o=r
• If you prefer a giblet gravy with dressing, this is a wonderful old fashion gravy that we've use for a very long time: https://www.justapinch.com/recipe/diane-smith/mamas-giblet-gravy-dee-dees/gravy
• DIRECTIONS FOR CHICKEN AND BROTH
• You need 1 large fryer (whole chicken) Remove gizzards/livers inside chicken, and then wash in clear water. Place in large pot with 2 to 3 quarts water; add salt, pepper, 2 cloves of garlic, chopped fine, add 1/3 cup of each chopped vegetables; onions, green pepper, and celery to the pot.
• Cover and cook on high heat until it starts to boil. Reduce heat and continue boiling about 35 to 45 minutes or until almost done. Remove from pot. Set aside. Keep chicken broth. Remember the broth is what makes the dressing.
• DIRECTIONS FOR CORNBREAD DRESSING
• You will need a very large bowl to combine ingredients for dressing. Break hot cornbread into bite size pieces, add margarine or butter. Add salt, pepper, poultry seasoning, and sage. Add Cream of Chicken Soup and eggs. Continue mixing. Add a cup of broth to start, add rolls. Mix well. Add more broth until dressing is the texture desired. Set aside.
• Lightly rub top of chicken with margarine then sprinkle with paprika. Bake at 425 degree until done about 30 minutes.
• Next, pour dressing in a large deep greased casserole dish and bake dressing until hot all the way through and top and edges start to brown about 30 to 40 minutes. NOTE: oven temps vary so watch close, you don't want a runny dressing and you don't want it dry.
• IMPORTANT TIPS TO REMEMBER: • For a drier dressing use less broth, for a moist dressing, use more broth. • When using poultry and sage seasoning, use according to your taste. You may want to add more seasonings or less, just be careful not to add too much, it will overpower the natural flavors. Seasonings make or break the flavor in corn bread dressing. • Make the dressing a day before serving. This gives the seasonings time to spread flavor throughout. Just make sure you cover and store in the refrigerator until ready to use. • For more flavor, cut up chicken gizzards and livers in dressing before baking.
