Turkey Stock & Giblet Gravy
It takes a lot to impress me. I've always loved the Boston Market Turkey Gravy. They used to sell it in jars at the supermarket. You can now purchase it under the brand Heinz Home Style Roasted Turkey Gravy found at most supermarkets. This is if you just don't have time to make your own gravy from scratch. I had never attempted my own gravy until this past Thanksgiving. My mother in law always has Thanksgiving at her house and preps the turkey early in the morning. I asked her a couple days ahead if she could save me the neck and giblets from the turkey. The recipe I used was found in Cuisine at Home magazine. You just won't go wrong with this recipe. The best part is that you can make it while the turkey is in the oven. It doesn't call for the turkey drippings from the roasted turkey. Take it slow and enjoy the process. This makes 8 cups of stock and 4 cups of gravy over a 2 hour period.
