I am with Charlee, I just simmer them for a couple of hours while the turkey is cooking and then use that as part of the liquid for my gravy.

I boil them for about an hour in chicken broth, low salt, let them cool, strip the sweet meat off the neck, chop up the giblets and add them to the gravy. Love them and if I am not careful will eat them before they make it to the gravy.

Oh, my, don't discard them! Boil them with skin on and make a broth. You can use that broth to make cornbread dressing (did I mention I'm from Texas? <g>) When they're cooked, pull the skin off and discard (or mix with your dog/cat food), chop the meat into small bits and add to the dressing. You can serve the dressing with the turkey, but if you want to save it, it's almost a meal in itself, with a salad. Buen provecho!

The morning of the day I roast the turkey, I take out the giblets, clean the bird under cold running water, pat dry, place in pan to drain. I clean the giblets, place in simmering water, cook until tender, cool, cut the liver into small bites and feed it to the cats and dogs and the rest goes into the dressing. Save the broth Since I have previously added all my bread, spices, herbs, & onion to the dressing, it is now time to add the meats and broth. I usually end up eating the heart and the gizzard but if it makes it into the dressing too, it really adds flavor. If no dressing is made, the heart and gizzard are cut up into the gravy. The neck meat also gets taken off the bone and put in the dressing. Stuff some in the orfices of the bird, close up, and bake. The rest of the dressing goes into a baking dish.

Now I'm hungry! Argh.
