About

Giblet gravy is easy if time consuming, and the basic principle is the same no matter what the size of the bird. The measurements here are for a 15-pound turkey. It’s not pan gravy; make it up to 2 days ahead.

Method

Put the wing tips, giblets, neck, garlic, and stock in the smallest pan that will hold the ingredients comfortably. Cover and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to simmer, skim, and cook, uncovered, for 2 hours or until the giblets are easily pierced with the point of a knife. Add 1 cup water each time t
