Ingredients:

1 pkg giblets from your turkey

1 tub pkg chicken livers

1/2 lb chicken gizzards

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper

2 cubes chicken bouillon

2-3 stalks celery minced

1 medium yellow onion minced

1 quart water

2 (14.5 ounce) cans chicken broth

6 hard-cooked boiled eggs

2 tablespoons cornstarch

1/2 cup milk or Half and Half

__________________________________________________________________

Directions:

In a 2 quart or larger pot, simmer the giblets, livers, and gizzards, salt, pepper, bouillon, celery and onion in 1 quart of water for 40 to 50 minutes or until the gizzards are tender. If you have a pressure cooker it's half that time.

Drain liquid, and reserve in pot. Put onions and celery back into pot, simmer while doing the rest.

Chop turkey and chicken livers, mince turkey and chicken gizzards and strip and chop neck neck meat and return to pot.

Add chicken broth to your reserved liquid or if you have a turkey, use drippings (about 1 1/2 cups and 1 can of chicken broth).

Chop eggs and add to broth. Mix cornstarch and milk together and slowly add to broth. Stir well until thickened. Reduce heat to low.

Some people like it thick and some thinner, so adjust to your family's preferences......

The first time I made it, I figured I’d be the only one eating it. To my shock/surprise, the rest of the family “loaded up” - even my nephew, a college student. Then, they went back for seconds! One thing I really love is Thanksgiving leftovers and I think I had two bites left .... last year, zero leftovers. This will be the 4th or 5th year that I’m making it - it’s turned into an ‘expected’ dish at our family feast.

I just use cheese* & heavy whipping cream for the sauce & use pork rind crumbs, butter & parmesan for the topping, which makes the recipe ‘low carb’ ... no one notices the difference.

*I was disappointed in the parmesan in the sauce first time I made this so I have switched it out for a cheese that melts better. I’m using Gouda this year ... last year, I used a mild yellow cheddar (all I had on hand - forgot to buy something) & that worked, too. Can’t remember what I did before that - probably a mild, white cheddar.

Put all in saucepan on low/medium heat, stirring and mashing until at slight boil.

Remove from heat and put in dish to cool.

DELICIOUS.

I don’t know what that is, but it ain’t turkey gravy.

It's giblet gravy. There's a difference!..................

Our Brussels Sprouts recipe is:
Remove the bad leaves on each sprout and cut the woody stem. Halve the sprouts. Scorch them in very hot bacon fat on the 150,000 BTU propane burner outside. Reduce temperature and saute a quantity of diced shallots equal to about one sixth of the sprouts in bacon fat. Add dark turkey broth and simmer until sprouts are soft all the way through. Add a quantity of bacon pieces equal to the shallots and serve.

I use a paella pan outside and the bacon is usually a pound or so.

I just printed the brussel sprouts recipe. Using them as the veggie this year as I am green beaded out. The recipe looks great.

Suggestion: Unless I can get very petite Brussels Sprouts, I suggest cutting them in half .... the sauce tends to cling to the cut side & trying to tackle a whole BS in your mouth can be a bit tricky!! I cook mine about 3/4 the way, let them cool, cut in half, & then they more or less get ‘done’ in the casserole without going mushy. Good luck - I think you’ll like the recipe.

Turkey - oven

As a child I learned never to throw anything food-related away, like it was a grave sin!



Which reminds me of a recipe Freeper Kenny Bunk developed whilst adrift in the South Pacific,

but that is another story.

My Dad always roasted the giblets and turkey neck right in with the turkey. Then he’d make the gravy from the juices. My mother always got the liver. That was her favorite.

[Red Badger]

That is why I add extra liver and gizzards from chicken, separately purchased. Everybody is happy!................

Here's a corn side dish that I've made each holiday. My son's love it, and I recently shared it with my niece, and now they make it on a regular basis. Sadly I can't have corn, so I have to be happy with green bean casserole. I usually double this recipe:

Corn Bake:

1/4 cup flour
16 oz. can cream style corn
16 oz. can whole kernel corn, drained
1 - 3 oz. pkg. softened cream cheese, cubed
1/2 teaspoon onion salt
2 oz. swiss cheese
1/2 cup soft bread crumbs
3 tablespoons softened butter
 

Mix all ingredients well. Pour into 9 x 13" dish. Bake uncovered for 30 minutes at 400 degrees. You can make this the day before and refrigerate, until ready to use.

Steamed brussels sprouts with whole roasted chestnuts and lots of butter is easy and delicious.
