It feels wasteful throwing 'em out, but that's what I've always done anyway. Thanks for this thread. Now I know what to do with 'em!

Here in Britain we boil them in water with seasoning and a bay leaf and then use it in the gravy, we were laughing the other day because several times my mother did that all right and then strained it into the sink - like veg. You should have heard the language! LOL! I'm sure she wasn't the only one.

I do as many others do...put them on to simmer with a bit of celery, and perhaps a bit of onion or carrot. I use this broth as the base for my gravy...add some of the pan drippings, season with salt, pepper and sage and thicken it. I don't care actually use giblets in the gravy so I discard the meat and just use the broth.

I boil them till tender and EAT them. Nobody else in our house will touch the giblets. As a kid I never knew you weren't supposed to like liver etc. Giblets are my treat.

In my house, everything that's left goes into the soup. Neck, giblets, whatever. Plus celery and carrots and leftover veggies...

I think making soup is a lot like making a scrap quilt. Take all your "nothings", and make something really good.

Boy after reading all this my mouth is watering for some Home made chicken soup , chock full of gizzards :lol:

Use the giblets and everything else for stuffing :thumbup:

Can't help it. Even with all of you saying that they're good, they still make me gag. Wasteful or not, I'll still throw them out. Aren't internal organs also the highest in cholestral? No, outside the skeleton goes in, inside the skeleton goes out! Nasty! I do, however, LOVE mountain oysters.

Bernie, I'm not a vegetarian. I just HATE the smell of turkey when it's hot. It's OK once it cools, but hot turkey smell gags me.
