Giblet Gravy

• Giblets And Neck, Saved From The Uncooked Turkey
• Drippings From Roasted Turkey
• 1/2 cup All Purpose Flour (more If Needed)
• 4 cups No-sodium Chicken, Turkey, Or Vegetable Broth, More If Needed
• Salt And Pepper (gravy Won't Need Much Salt)

1. First, take the giblets and neck from the raw turkey and cover them with water by 2 inches in a small saucepan.
2. Bring to a gentle boil over medium heat, then reduce the heat to low and simmer it for 1 hour to both to cook the meat and to make a giblet broth for the gravy.
3. Remove the giblets and neck from the water (don't worry; they're supposed to look really grody) and set them aside.
4. Keep the giblet broth in the saucepan for later.
5. When you're ready to make the gravy, pour all the drippings from the turkey roasting pan into a bowl.
6. Set the pan back onto the stove.
7. Let the drippings sit and separate naturally, then use a ladle to carefully separate the fat from the liquid drippings (the fat will be on top, while the drippings will settle at the bottom).
8. Turn the heat to medium and add about 1 cup of the fat back into the roasting pan. Sprinkle the flour all over the fat and immediately begin whisking it around to make a paste.
9. Add more flour or fat as needed to create the right consistency: You want the mixture to be a stirrable paste and not overly greasy.
10. If it looks a little greasy, whisk in a little more flour.
11. Once the paste/roux is the right consistency, whisk it slowly for a few minutes, allowing it to cook to a deep golden brown color.
12. A nice brown roux is the secret to good gravy, baby!
13. Once the roux is ready, pour in 1 cup of the drippings (the stuff that separated from the fat earlier) and the chicken or turkey broth, whisking constantly.
14. Then just let the gravy cook and thicken, whisking constantly for 5 to 8 minutes.
15. Meanwhile, use your fingers to remove as much of the neck meat as you can and chop up the giblets into fine pieces.
16. Add as much of the meat to the gravy as you'd like.
17. If the gravy seems too thick, add more broth and/or giblet broth.
18. Finally, season the gravy w/salt and pepper.
