      I sauteed the giblets and vegetables before adding water to bring out the flavors, and discarded the giblets after the gravy was done instead of using it, but it turned out to be a rich, creamy gravy that everyone enjoyed! Great recipe!

      Having read the recipe and the reviews, I was able to make the best gravy I've ever had (and the 15 guests felt the same way ... this recipe is now in 4 other household's recipe books!). I roasted the giblets (thanks, spaceace!) prior to covering them with chicken broth (thanks, chef #1267399). I did remove the giblet meat and puree it and the veg into the liquid (after defatting). All this was done while the turkey was cooking, so there was no additional net cooking time until step 14, when the turkey comes out of the oven and you incorporate the drippings. Even then, there's no added net time, because the gravy prep goes on while the turkey is resting ... In short, great results, great detailed instructions, and not just a keeper recipe, but THE gravy recipe for Thanksgiving and Christmas. Thanks, Derf!!

      Good recipe. The first time I made it I did make the mistake of adding maybe too many giblets. We had slaughtered our own turkey, and I was a bit excited about saving every giblet. It ended up tasting too much like organ meat. The second go round I omitted liver and kidneys, and it was much better! Thanks for this recipe, I'll keep making it every time!

      This is my basic method except I use carrots, onion, celery and gizzards in chicken stock instead of water. I let that simmer on low most of the day and use this to expand my gravy once the fat has been skimmed off of the pan juices. More flavorful than water! I discard most of the gizzards but use the livers chopped very fine and add to the gravy. This year I'm excited to have found Turkey stock from the same company whose chicken stock I'd used before.

      This is almost the same way I've made my turkey gravy for years. However,... I'll boil the liver with the rest of the giblets, but do not put it in the final preperation. (it goes to the dog). The liver itself, will flavor the gravy, so if you're not a fan, leave it out, (hence the 4 star rating). Otherwise, I make the gravy as written.

      I served this gravy for Thanksgiving and it was extraordinary. Very flavorful and smooth, with a rich, creamy texture. Every single person at the table said it was the best they ever had. This will replace Grandma's old recipe from now on. Sorry, Grandma. ;)

      FABULOUS! My new gravy recipe...very flavorful and easy to make. Cooked this on my stove top instead of in the oven w/ great results. Great with roasted garlic mashed potatoes and on our Thanksgiving stuffing. This one is a definite keeper.

      I cooked this on my stove top rather than in the oven because I had made my turkey the day before (saving my broth for giblet gravy) and cleaned up the aftermath. In doing it this way, I found that I had to keep adding flour to get it to thicken. I did this a total of three seperate times, each time returning a portion of my gravy to the blender and blending the flour and then adding it back to the broth on the stove top. Eventually, it thickened up to just the right consistency. My entire family raved about it and I personally loved it and will definitely use this every thanksgiving going forward. Bravo. Thanks for a most awesome giblet gravy recipe!

      This recipe has an awesome flavor and produces a great deal of gravy. Because of the way we like to prepare our turkey, we don't get a lot of leftover drippings for making gravy. This recipe generates a wonderful base that stretches the few drippings we can collect very nicely. We used rice flour instead of wheat flour, and that worked just fine. As long as we have turkey giblets around, this will be our standard turkey gravy recipe.

      This is a fantastic gravy, it was my first attempt at making homemade gravy and it was much easier than I thought it would be. I also thickened everything on the stove and it worked perfectly. Thanks Derf!

      Very nice gravy. Never could find a use for the giblets before. As with some others I did remove them from broth prior to finishing gravy. I also used a crock pot, to simmer the giblets, (in order to free space on top of the stove). Crock pot on high for 4-5 hrs. Thanks Derf.

      Well, I made this gravy for everyone else because I'm not a fan of it, but I had to try this out since I'd done all the work. It was delicious! My family said it's some of the most flavorful gravy they've ever had. I may end up eating gravy afterall...as long as I make it using this recipe! The only thing I did differently was that I didn't blend the turkey giblets- I just threw them out after simmering for 2 & 1/2 hours because I couldn't stand the thought of consuming gravy that contained chopped up liver and gizzard! Still came out wonderful! Oh, I also used a blend of cornstarch and water to thicken it because the flour wasn't working as well. Thank you so much for posting!
