The Day After Thanksgiving is For Giblets

[Clark Addison]

I know we have a pie thread, and a turkey thread, but I searched and could not find a giblet thread. I am sure that this one, like those, will be bumped every November.

I always make a little stock using the neck(s) to fortify my gravy, but I do not use the heart, gizzard, and liver in the stock (I probably should). As a result, sitting in my fridge right now I have a pair of each of these. Anyone have any favorite ways to eat them? Fry them? Simmer them? Make a very small pate? Take a bite out of the raw hearts to take the strength of the turkeys' essence?

I usually take the giblets and throw them directly in the trash.

Yup.

My mom uses them for her stuffing. Her stuffing is top rate.

Yup.

That doesn't sound very fun.

Gizzards make excellent catfish bait. Other than that, I usually relegate them to the stuff-they-only-sell-at-IGA-or-Piggly-Wiggly section of my culinary world.

The best use for giblets is to gross out daughters. Chasing the teenage ones around the house with the neck is especially gratifying.

I use everything but the liver to make stock and use it in the gravy. Once they have been cooked you can chop them up and add to the gravy. Or fry them up the next morning and add to some scrambled eggs.

Yep. Giblets is for the stuffing and my mom did the same thing. I throw them in the stuffing just to add a little favor and to freak my kids out. I usually pick them out and then throw them in the trash after that.
