Ingredients
- giblets (neck, liver, heart, etc.) from the turkey
- 2 carrots, peeled and cut into 2-inch pieces
- 2 stalks celery, cut into 2-inch pieces
- 1 medium onion, peeled and quartered
- 4 fresh flat-leaf parsley sprigs
- roasting pan and its contents, from the Garlic Butter Turkey
- 1/2 cup dry vermouth
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- kosher salt and black pepper
Directions
- Make the giblet stock: Combine the giblets, carrots, celery, onion, parsley, and 8 cups water in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer until the liquid is reduced by half and the neck meat is very tender, 1 to 1½ hours.
- Remove the giblets. Pull the meat off the neck and finely chop the remaining giblets; reserve. Strain the stock into a large measuring cup or bowl; you should have about 3 cups (add water if necessary).
- Place the reserved roasting pan with the vegetables across 2 burners and cook over medium-high heat, scraping up the bits stuck to the pan, until the vegetables darken, 8 to 10 minutes. Add the vermouth and cook until syrupy, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the flour and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes. Whisk in the stock and cook until thickened, 4 to 6 minutes.
- Strain the gravy into a small saucepan. Add the reserved neck meat, chopped giblets, 3/4 teaspoon salt, and ½ teaspoon pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until warmed through, 1 to 2 minutes.

FRESH PICK
Cranberries
High in vitamin C, these hard, tart berries are grown in bogs in colder regions of North America and Europe. They’re almost
always eaten cooked, as in the classic Thanksgiving relish.
