chicken giblets make nice gravy.
wash giblets.
boil them slowly in pan of water(about 2 litres)until the liquid has reduced about half, along with 3 carrots, 4-5 sticks celery, 1 onion, any beef bones or ends of cheap cuts of meat your butcher may have. If you want a darker coloured gravy, fry the meat before boiling.
strain liquid, season to taste, serve. Can be thickened, if desired, with cornflour.
Traditionally, turkey giblets are cooked by simmering in water for use in flavoring soups, gravies or poultry stuffing. Once cooked, the liver will become crumbly and the heart and gizzard will soften and become easy to chop. Cooked giblets should have a firm texture and their juices should run clear. Casseroles and stuffing containing giblets must be cooked to at least 165 °F. Chicken giblets are commonly fried or broiled. Leftovers should be refrigerated within two hours.
Wash under running cold water and pull away any sinew or bit of fat. Rub off any clots of excess blood.
You can put them in the gravy or in the stuffing.
You cook them with the stuffing/dressing.
Giblets, stuffing and the Wish Bone!
Stuffing a turkey for Thanksgiving or any special dinner is easy. First, make the stuffing with either bread crumbs or rice. Next, clean the cavity of the turkey removing the giblets. Finally, fill in the turkey cavity with the prepared stuffing.
This would depend on what kind of stuffing you are making, whether or not it is the instant stuffing (IE: Stovetop) or homemade. It also depends on whether or not you plan on making it separately, or stuffing the turkey with it. If you are using an instant stuffing, it is wise to make it last, as it only takes approximately 5 minutes to prepare. If you are making homemade stuffing, it is wise to prepare your bread crumbs in advance, so they have time to harden. If you are stuffing a turkey, prepare the stuffing mix prior to stuffing the turkey, then place it in the turkey's cavity. Please be advised that special precautions should be taken when doing this, as a turkey that has been stuffed, when improperly or incompletely cooked, can give additional rise to food borne illnesses.
To prepare and check the cavity, lay the poultry down with the breasts upward. Remove the giblets and kidneys if they are not already removed and trim any excess fat.
Liver IS part of what's called "Giblets"
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.
Cornbread dressing, for stuffing into a chicken or turkey for example, will tend to have other ingredients in it besides the cornbread recipe. As dressing, it will probably have onions, celery, giblets and/or additional spices and herbs added to it.
== == Turkey giblets are the little organs left in the turkey when you buy it. It could be the kidney, the heart etc.
there's usually a bag in the main cavity that contains the neck & some of the giblets. There's also a bag of giblets in the neck cavity. be sure to remove both of them before you cook the turkey!
Turkey giblets are OK for dogs to eat. In fact, dogs would appreciate if you gave them the left over turkey.
I put the giblets (heart, kidneys, lungs, whatever else you have) in the blender and add turkey/chicken stock and blend it down to a red liquid. I strain the liquid through a coarse strainer to remove any large pieces. I then make stuffing (normally breadcrumbs, onions, celery, spices, and turkey/chicken stock) and use the giblet liquid in place of the stock. I give the raw turkey neck to my dog as I don't use it.
well, um, i dunno. i dont think you should, just cover it and leave it on the table or workbench
