I make gravy out of the drippings, brown the flour, add stock and cook until thick, then I also put a chopped hard boiled egg in there, as my grandmother did ! The one thing I DON"T do is use the "giblets" I even throw them out....I don't want those turkey parts yukky stuff in my gravy ! I remember as a child my grandmother would boil them and then chop them up for the gravy, even as a kid I wouldn't eat them, just the "gravy" part.

On a different recipe note, I have a friend who is from an Italian family from New York; when his mom made meatballs for the family she would add several hard boiled eggs to the meatballs.....he said that it was her way of stretching the protein for the big family......he would bring his home made spaghetti and meatballs for lunch, along with the hard boiled eggs.....never looked appetizing to me, but then again, eating giblets aren't either !
