Rocks in Turkeys Bellies
Then again:
Giblets is a cooking term - it refers to the edible offal from a fowl (chicken/turkey etc) and includes the heart, gizzard and liver.
Some people use the giblets in stuffing recipes, but in western countries they are mostly used in pet food.
The rocks that are found in the gizzard of turkeys and other herbivorous birds are called 'gastroliths' and these are used to grind food into smaller particles. These are also used by crocodiles, alligators, seals, sea lions and have been found in association with sauropod dinosaur fossils.

∙ 14y agoIf you purchase a frozen turkey, in the cavity of the bird you will find a small bag. In this bag is the liver, the gizzard, and the neck. These are the giblets. In a medium saucepan, put water to cover these parts, and add salt, pepper, and sage (or poultry seasoning) to taste. Boil for about an hour until the gizzard is firm, adding water as necessary. You need about two cups of water which will become broth.
Let cool, and remove the parts to a cutting board and mince the liver and the gizzard fine. Pick the meat off the neck, and chop the pieces. In a separate cup, mix 3 teaspoons of corn starch with water to make a thin liquid (about half a cup), making sure the starch is thoroughly dissolved. Bring broth in pan to a boil and add the cornstarch mixture, pouring steadily while stirring constantly. You now have made an excellent gravy. Add the giblet pieces back into the gravy.

How do you cook giblets in a pressure cooker?
Unfortunately, I do not agree with the answer that the turkey giblets will eat you alive. My mom use to cook the giblets and dad always got the gizzard. That is until we kids grew older and fought over them, then she used them in the gravy. They will not make you sick or kill you. I'm not aware of the cake. I just wanted to know what pressure and liquid you use to pressure cook the giblets. I make my turkey stock using the broth from the giblets. You can also boil them, but it takes forever. About 3-4 hrs.

What is a qiblet?
Giblets (pronounced /ˈdʒɪblɨts/) is a culinary term for the edible offal of a fowl, typically including the heart, gizzard, liver, and other visceral organs. [1]A whole bird from a butcher is often packaged with the giblets (sometimes sealed in a bag in the body cavity). Although it does not technically fit the definition above, the neck is often included with the giblets, as, in the west, it is usually separated from the body during the process of butchering.There are a number of recipes that use giblets. If a bird is to be stuffed, the giblets are traditionally chopped and added to the stuffing, however the USDA recommends cooking giblets separate from the bird.[2] If not, they can be used for other purposes, such as giblet pie or, a Southern U.S. favorite, giblet gravy. With the exception of giblet gravy, the liver is not usually included in these recipes, as its strong flavor tends to overpower other ingredients. It may be used in liver-specific recipes, such as pâté or yakitori. Giblets can also be used to make alicot, a French stew.Much poultry, especially that sold in supermarkets, is quartered and consequently the giblets are not included. Giblets can be bought separately from a butcher, but the demand for human consumption is low in most Western countries, so they are more often sold to pet food manufacturers.
