I just put a 20+ pound turkey in the oven to roast.

I did remember to pull out the neck and the giblets in the paper bag.

What do you do with them?

I feel guilty discarding them, but I sure don't know how to cook them.

I discard the giblets but save the neck and throw it in a stock pot with the bones and carcas of the turkey and make soup.

DH makes the soup. I'll save it for him to use. I'll put celery and onions on the grocery list.

I boil them (with seasoning) and use them in the gravy...

That's what I do.

We boil the necks for the dogs and save the giblets for the stuffing. And the broth for gravy.

Boil the neck and you have turkey stock - for soup or the gravy or the stuffing (I do NOT like stuffing in the bird - too much bloody mess)

I boil them all, except the liver (it's bitter) and make giblet dressing.

I boil them, use the broth for gravy and give them ( not the neck) to the dog as a treat.

okay - i will boil the neck, gizzard and TWO hearts until ?

Sorry about seeming retarded about this - the bird I just put it in the oven and let it bake. (I did put it in a roasting pan first)
