Turkey Gravy
Ingredients:
Giblets
Water
Onion Powder
Salt
Pepper
3 cups turkey pan drippings from '1st turkey' recipe
1/2 cup all purpose flour
Directions:
In a medium saucepan, boil turkey giblets with water 3/4 the way full. Add in salt, pepper, and onion powder. Boil for approximately 1-2 hours on medium-low (just enough to get a definite simmer) uncovered. Do not let the water line lower past the giblets, as you do not want to fry them.
Remove the giblets and let cool on a cutting board. Use cheese cloth over a bowl and strain out the froth and giblets, setting aside the pure broth for later use. Either mince or shred the giblet meat, throwing away any bones.
In that same medium saucepan, add the giblet juice and 3 cups of the turkey broth leavings from the recipe mentioned above. Blend or stir in 1/2 cup of flour gradually and bring to a boil. Add the cut or minced giblets and simmer for about 5 minutes. Stir frequently to keep the solution from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
