I basicly do the same except no mushrooms because of the kids, also i use corn starch and water for the gravy..........no lumps that way and I use bell's poultry seasonings instead of sage........I put celery onions and more seasonings inside. I cook the giblets in a pan on top of the stove and chop to add to the gravy. I also add some of this to the stuffing which I bake in a bowl :D
