DELICIOUS GIBLET GRAVY
Giblet gravy is one of my favorite things about Thanksgiving and Christmas.
My family loves giblet gravy over cornbread dressing for the holidays. It is easy to make and is a wonderful addition to you holiday meal whether it be Thanksgiving or Christmas. Many people love this gravy because it is such a holiday classic! There are many variations to making gravy but this is one of our favorites.
Giblet Gravy Ingredients Needed:
Giblets from turkey (heart, gizzard, liver and neck)
Water or chicken broth
Salt
Black pepper
Drippings from turkey pan (about a cup)
Self-rising flour
This gravy is also delicious over mashed potatoes but it really goes great with this cornbread dressing. Honestly it wouldn’t be Thanksgiving without cornbread dressing and giblet gravy. If you have never made this you should give it a try! Many people also add hard boiled eggs to this gravy, so feel free to do that as well. As you can see this is a very simple recipe with only a few ingredients.
We love these reviews and if you haven’t tried this gravy you should!

This is basically like the Giblet Gravy I make which is what my grandmother made and she and I always added chopped boiled eggs also ( South Carolina) and used a little onion and celery while cooking the giblets and sometimes I will also add a can of cream of chicken soup to it. I was happy to see this recipe because very few people actually have ever heard of it but most really love it once they try. Great recipes and love your recipe for the Dressing also which is how I make mine also,
Best gravy recipe ever. I used it for the first time last Thanksgiving(2019) and it was easy and very delicious. I will be using it again and always. But do you have to use self rising flour for this recipe or is it safe to use all-purpose flour? Thanks and Happy Thanksgiving!!!!

I like to boil with fresh onion, celery and garlic and poultry season
My parents always added boiled eggs as well.
I also add chicken base and pimento and a few drops of yellow food coloring
This is a good recipe and what makes it better is to add about 1/2 teaspoon of SAGE. It bumps the gravy up to another level. My mother always added a little sage and boiled eggs to her giblet gravy at Thanksgiving. Thanks
I add sliced boiled egg to my giblet gravy…made exactly yours except I add a boiled egg
Yep kentucgal, I wonder can it be made using a sub, I don’t have a turkey
I have been making this using the same recipe from my grandmother which is the same as yours but we add a couple of chopped boiled eggs to it.
