what do you do with the turkey neck and giblets?
#21
The neck is great for flavoring dry beans while they cook. We use it in lentils. The giblets can be simmered with herbs and veggies to make broth for your gravy or stuffing. My grandma taught me to puree the liver and saute in butter to add to the stuffing. I like using the gizzards in the stuffing too.
I don't like to waste anything on a turkey. Make sure you save that carcass for soup! Turkey soup is my favorite!

I give them raw to the dogs. Most Borzoi owners feed their dogs raw diets and mine patiently wait every single time we have a roast hoping for the "goodies". As long as the bones aren't cooked they are safe believe it or not. When they cook they splinter. It also helps their teeth, keeps them shiny and white.

I boil the neck,gizzard and heart, cut up the gizzard and heart, take meat off the neck, cut up and put all into my dressing, I don't stuff the turkey. I use the broth in the dressing and use turkey drippings for the gravy. I cook my turkey in the roasting bag, makes lots of juice.

Make a pot of soup or make the broth and freeze it for a day you want to make soup. With the liver saute it in a little oil and an onion. Then chopped it and add a chopped hard boiled egg and mayo. Now you have chopped liver spread it on crackers and yummmmmmmmoooooooooooo.
