Giblet Stuffing Recipes

Steps:

• Separate the neck from the rest of the giblets. Put remaining giblets into a covered container and put in the fridge for now.
• Put the neck ONLY from the giblets into a full pan of salted boiling water. Bring to a boil agian, cover, turn down to a simmer cook for 1 1/2 hours until the meat is fall off the bone tender, making sure to keep check on the water level throughout.
• Add the remaining giblets to the neck in the water and cook for a further 1/2 hour.
• Drain giblets; reserving liquid.
• Chop up the giblets into small pieces.
• Cover tightly and set aside (if using immediately) or refrigerate until ready to use in the recipe (can be done the day before).
• While the giblets are cooking the rest of instructions follow:.
• Preheat the oven to 350F degrees.
• Slice the bread into 1/2 inch cubes.
• Place the cubed bread onto a ungreased dry cookie sheet and toss with the dried herbs and spices.
• Bake seasoned bread cubes in the oven turning frequently (approximately every 5 minutes) until golden brown and crisp, about 20 minutes or so depending on how moist your bread cubes are.
• While the bread cubes are in the oven, saute the celery, onion and garlic in the butter until tender.
• Remove bread cubes from oven, leave to cool until crisp.
• Mix he celery, onion, garlic mixture into the cooled dried bread cubes. Mixing thoroughly.
• Add chopped giblets to the mix.
• Add the beaten eggs to the mixture, again mixing thoroughly.
• Mix reserved liquid from the giblets and combine with chicken broth to make 1 cup.
• Carefully add the chicken broth to your desired consistency. (Remember, if you are stuffing the bird it will take on more moisture so be careful how moist you want your stuffing at this stage).
• Stuff your bird, making sure not to pack it in to tightly and don't forget to pack a little in the neck cavity.
• Put the remainer of the stuffing into a generously buttered casserole dish and bake for 1/2 hour at 350°F (covered with foil for moist stuffing and uncovered if you want a crispy top).

Steps:

• Rub inside goose cavity with lemon and salt; set aside. In a saucepan, cook giblets in water until tender, about 20-30 minutes., Remove giblets with a slotted spoon and reserve liquid. Chop giblets and place in a large bowl with the cornbread, apples, onion, parsley, sage, salt, pepper and garlic powder. Add enough of the reserved cooking liquid to make a moist stuffing; toss gently. Stuff the body and neck cavity; truss openings. Place goose, breast side up, on a rack in a shallow roasting pan. Spread with softened butter., Bake, uncovered, at 325° for 25 minutes per pound or until fully cooked and tender. If goose is an older bird, add 1 cup of water to pan and cover for the last hour of baking.

Steps:

• 1. Place neck and giblets (except liver which is brown and soft) in a saucepan. Add 2/3 water, lots of sea salt, onion, garlic, lots of sage and pepper. Simmer over medium heat for about 2 to 2 ½ hours.
• 2. About half an hour before turkey is ready, add liver to saucepan.
• 3. Meanwhile, in a microwavable bowl, add croutons, chicken broth, parsley, sage, basil, oregano, pepper, garlic, celery stick, and onion. Strain turkey giblets and cut in very small pieces. Mix minced giblets with croutons mixture. Put in microwave, cover with Saran Wrap®, for 2 minutes at high; after 40 seconds in the microwave, mix well and put it back for the remaining time.

Steps:

• 1. CROUTONS: I make these the day before so that I am not sweating my time in the kitchen.
• 2. Cut bread slices into bite size pieces. Place in 2 9x13 cake pans ( you will need to toss these several times so its easier to not overcrowd them).
• 3. Melt butter and all the rest of the Crouton ingredients in a sauce pan. I get it warm then turn off the heat while I finish cutting bread.
• 4. Pour the melted butter mix over the bread in each pan. Toss throughly so that the butter mix is distributed over the whole pan of bread. If the bread is still dry you can drizzle a little olive oil over it to extend the butter.
• 5. Bake at 300 for about 1 hour, tossing the croutons every 20 min for even drying and browning. These should come out very toasty and tasty!
• 6. GIBLETS AND JUICE: I start this as soon as the turkey goes into the oven.
• 7. Put the CROUTONS into a large lasagna pan (mine is 11x15)
• 8. Dump everything in a saucepan, make sure that the neck and giblets are covered in liquid. Boil for 20 min. Turn off heat and let set until cool to the touch.
• 9. Reserve the liquid. Remove neck and giblets. Take all the meat off the neck and put into the CROUTONS.
• 10. I used to mince all the giblets but now I take the easy way out. Throw the heart, stomach and liver into a food processor and whir till small chunks or pasty (your taste). Dump this into the CROUTONS.
• 11. Dump chopped vegetables into the CROUTONS. Toss, stir, mix up ... you know what I mean. Add the reserved giblet/neck broth to this until it is moist. If you have used all the broth and the croutons are not moist enough you can either add olive oil chicken/turkey broth or melt a stick of butter and use that.
• 12. Bake for an hour at 325 (with the turkey) or 30-40 min at 400, you want the vegetables to be tender and the croutons to be semi-dry.

Steps:

• Use the giblets from your turkey. With a heavy cleaver or large knife, chop the turkey neck into 2 to 3-inch pieces. Trim the liver and refrigerate (if it is added to the broth too soon, the liver will overcook and make the broth bitter). In a large saucepan, heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the neck, heart, and gizzard and brown on all sides, about 10 minutes. Stir in 1 quartered small onion and 1 coarsely chopped small carrot. Add a 13 3/4-ounce can reduced-sodium chicken broth and enough cold water to cover the giblets by 1 inch. Bring to a simmer, skimming off the foam that rises to the surface. Add 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 8 peppercorns. Reduce the heat to low and simmer, partially covered until the giblets are very tender, about 2 hours. Add the turkey liver and simmer until cooked through, 15 to 20 minutes. Strain, reserving the stock, if desired. Cool the giblets. Pull the meat off the neck. Chop the neck meat, heart, gizzard, and liver. Stir into he Bread Stuffing 101 along with the bread cubes.

Steps:

• Make the stuffing:
• In a shallow baking pan arrange the bread cubes in one layer, bake them in a preheated 325°F. oven, stirring occasionally, for 10 to 15 minutes, or until they are golden, and transfer them to a large bowl. In a large skillet sauté the ham in the butter over moderately high heat, stirring occasionally, for 5 to 10 minutes, or until it is deep red and the edges are crisp, and transfer it with a slotted spoon to the bowl. To the fat remaining in the skillet add the onions, the celery, the sage, and the thyme, cook the mixture over moderate heat, stirring, until the onions are softened, and transfer it to a bowl. Toss the stuffing well, season it with salt and pepper and let it cool completely. The stuffing may be made 1 day in advance and kept covered and chilled. (To prevent bacterial growth do not stuff the turkey cavities in advance.)
• Rinse the turkey, pat it dry, and season it inside and out with salt and pepper. Pack the neck cavity loosely with some of the stuffing, fold the neck skin under the body, and fasten it with a skewer. Pack the body cavity loosely with some of the remaining stuffing and truss the turkey. Transfer the remaining stuffing to a buttered 2-quart baking dish and reserve it, covered and chilled.
• Spread the turkey with 1/2 stick of the butter and roast it on a rack in a roasting pan in a preheated 425°F. oven for 30 minutes. Reduce the oven temperature to 325°F., baste the turkey with the pan juices, and drape it with a piece of cheesecloth, soaked in the remaining 1 stick butter, melted and cooled. Add the water to the pan and roast the turkey, basting it every 20 minutes, for 2 1/2 to 3 hours more, or until a meat thermometer inserted in the fleshy part of a thigh registers 180°F. and the juices run clear when the thigh is pierced with a skewer. During the last 1 1/2 hours of roasting, drizzle the reserved stuffing with the stock, bake it, covered, in the 325°F. oven for 1 hour, and bake it, uncovered, for 1/2 hour more. Discard the cheesecloth and string from the turkey, transfer the turkey to a heated platter, reserving the juices in the roasting pan, and keep it warm, covered loosely with foil.
• Make the gravy:
• Skim all of the fat from the roasting pan juices, reserving 1/3 cup of the fat, add the wine to the pan, and deglaze the pan over moderately high heat, scraping up brown bits. Boil the mixture until it is reduced by half. In a saucepan combine the reserved fat and the flour and cook the roux over moderately low heat, whisking, for 3 minutes. Add the stock and the wine mixture in a stream, whisking, and simmer the gravy, stirring occasionally, for 10 minutes. Add the reserved cooked giblets and neck meat, chopped, and salt and pepper to taste, simmer the gravy for 2 minutes, and transfer it to a heated sauceboat.
• Garnish the turkey with the sage leaves and serve it with the gravy and the stuffing.

Steps:

• Place giblets in a saucepan and cover with water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 45-50 minutes or until tender. Chop giblets; set broth and giblets aside. , In a large skillet, saute celery and onion in 2 tablespoons butter until tender. In a large bowl, combine bread cubes, celery mixture, giblets, egg substitute and seasonings. Stir in 1 cup giblet broth., Just before roasting, loosely stuff turkey with 8 cups stuffing. Place remaining stuffing in a greased 2-qt. baking dish; refrigerate until ready to bake. Skewer turkey openings; tie drumsticks together with kitchen string. Place breast side up on a rack in a roasting pan. Pour 1 cup giblet broth over turkey. Melt remaining butter; brush over turkey. , Bake, uncovered, at 325° for 3-1/2 to 4 hours or until a thermometer reads 165° when inserted in center of stuffing and the thigh reaches at least 170°, basting occasionally. (Cover loosely with foil if turkey browns to quickly.), Bake additional stuffing, covered, for 30-40 minutes. Uncover; bake 10 minutes longer or until lightly browned. Cover turkey and let stand for 20 minutes before removing stuffing and carving turkey. , Pour pan drippings into a 2-cup measuring cup; skim fat. Add water or remaining giblet broth to measure 2 cups. In a saucepan, combine cornstarch and cold water until smooth. Gradually stir in broth mixture. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Serve with turkey.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease a 9x13x2-inch ovenproof serving dish or spray with nonstick spray.
• Put the turkey giblets in a medium pot, add 1 1/2 cups broth, place over high heat, and bring to the boil. Reduce the heat and simmer, uncovered, for 1 to 1 1/2 hours, adding water if the liquid boils out. Strain and reserve the broth. Coarsely chop the giblets, removing any bones or extra fat.
