Awesome Turkey Giblet Stock

I needed to make a stock in order to get gravy for my deep-fried turkey. This was so easy to make - made the whole house smell wonderful - and also made a tasty gravy.

Very easy to make

I made this for Thanksgiving along with the Awesome Stuffing recipe and it was no fuss...very good. You could tell it was made from scratch! Thanks for sharing.

It smells like Thanksgiving in here! This stock was so good and easy, a great way to use those giblets! I used this recipe to make the "Savory Turkey Gravy" recipe from this site, so I did eliminate the tangerine zest because I wasn't sure I wanted citrusy gravy.

This turned out wonderfully! I have never tried to make my own turkey stock and this made for an amazing gravy! It made my gravy really flavorful and much less SALTY. I will be doing this every year, although I have to admit I didn't add the liver... just couldn't do it.

I made this as directed to go with the "Awesome Sausage, Apple and Dried Cranberry Stuffing" as called for. It was not as much fuss as I thought it would be and the results were fantastic.

I have made this stock and the accompanied stuffing for the last several years. I was freaking out because I misplaced my recipe folder. Thank goodness I was able to remember where this was on the Internet because this stock is amazing and wonderful for a beginner. And the apple/sausage stuffing it goes with is perfection as well!

Great stock recipe! I made it for use with the Awesome Sausage, Apple and Cranberry Stuffing. Very easy to make and everyone loved the way it smelled while it was simmering.

I've been a vegetarian for 21 years!!! Faced with a neck and bag of giblets I was mortified! If I can do this anyone can. Gonna attempt a turkey stew now...wish me luck carnivores! P.S. No I won't be eating it.

I wanted to make the Awesome Sausage, Apple & Dried Cranberry Stuffing on this site, so looked for a turkey stock recipe. Luckily, Stacy provided this recipe as well. This was easy to make and was delicious. I didn't have tangerines, so I used orange peel instead. I made the recipe and, as directed, added water to get it to 3 cups. I used 3/4c for the stuffing recipe and most of the rest for my gravy.

I used this to make Savory Turkey Gravy from this site and it worked out great!

It was good for the Turkey. I wasnt sure wht was the liver I just assumed it was the piece that looked different. It was perfect for Thanksgiving Turkey.

I didn't know that I would need this but made it anyway- brilliant gravy and bird turned out tasty. Thanks

A great & tasty way to use up all the turkey! Did NOT add the liver and threw in a fresh sage leaf since I did not have any bay leaves. Turned out a very good!

I made this ahead for our upcoming Canadian Thanksgiving and put it in the freezer for my stuffing and gravy. I did a taste test and it was wonderful.

It came out good w/changes. Gave liver to cats, used one tangerine zest and used 4-color peppercorns. I also used my Quick Roux recipe to thicken.

Loved the ease of the recipe, and it made my gravy taste great!

I wasn't going to make turkey stock, but this morning I decided at the last minute that I would like to give it a shot. Thanks for sharing this recipe, it turned out great! It is very easy to whip up while the turkey is in the oven. Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

Omigod this adds the best flavor to the turkey for the Holidays and it makes you just want to drink it it smells so good and leaves your home smelling GREAT! I have used this stock for the past two years on my thanksgiving turkey and its ALWAYS a success!

This was first time making giblet stock. I followed the recipe exactly and used this stock for my gravy, which turned out wonderful! Will keep this basic recipe as a keeper for future use. **I just made this again this year. The stock was awesome for the Awesome Cranberry Sausage Stuffing recipe, but was too sweet for gravy. Will make again for stuffing though!

We used this for chicken giblets and it came out great

Bland. No flavor at all. My turkey didn't come with a liver so all I had was the neck and giblets, so maybe that had something to do with it, but I had to ad 3 1/2 tsp chicken bouillon just to get it to taste like something.

I made this to make 'out of the bird' gravy. Everyone loved it.

Excellent stock! Left my poultry really tender and juicy!

I had to make before I could get the giblets out of my turkey, so I used a pound of turkey gizzards and doubled the recipe. Made a rich, delicious stock.

I made this stock for Thanksgiving. Out of a question, the best stock I have tried. Highly recommended to everyone.

This is super easy and smells wonderful as it cooks! Thanks for sharing.

This is my new #1 Awesome Turkey Giblet Stock recipe. Thanks so much for sharing it with us. It's delicious!

Super easy and super delicious. I used the whole turkey carcass though to get more broth than this recipes creates. Same spices and ingredients though. Using the stock for a turkey tex mex stew (also a recipe on this site).

A nice base turkey stock, that we always keep in our freezer for making dressing and as a base for 100 other things in the kitchen.

thanks!!

This recipe was very easy to follow. It made the house smell so good. My bf said it smelled like Thanksgiving. :) I used it to make the Awesome Sausage, Apple and Cranberry Stuffing which, came out SO good! Although, since it does take quite some time to make, I don't know if I would do this again. I already have a lot to cook/bake for Thanksgiving, I think the stock is one thing I could take a short cut on. I'm pretty sure I could use store bought turkey or chicken stock that'll give me just as delicious results.

Followed the recipe but didn't have the tangerines. Made a good broth for gravy and dressing!

very easy, added a little sage for flavor

This was a great, easy recipe. I used it for Awesome Sausage, Apple, and Cranberry Stuffing, and then added the turkey drippings and some corn starch to the rest for gravy. My first time cooking with giblets and I felt confident with this recipe,and it turned out great! I didn't have any bay leaves, so that was left out and it still turned out fine.

I could not believe how easy and tasty this was. I did not reduce the broth but instead used it for turkey noodles. This broth is out of this world! Just as the author states, the entire house smelled fabulous. I have always thrown away the giblets because it looked gross as a kid. So, I gave it a chance and I am so glad I did. As a kid, I would never eat the dressing because I knew it was made with the giblet broth and giblets...I just might try it now at 52 yrs of age. That's how good this broth is!!!!

Great Stock!
