Ingredients

GIBLETS

  • neck & giblets, rinsed
  • coarse sea salt, such as Himalayan
  • 1/4 large red onion, roughly chopped
  • 2 large cloves garlic, pressed
  • lots of sage (about 3 tbsp.)
  • freshly ground black pepper, to taste (I always use mixed peppercorns)

STUFFING

  • 1 box (5 oz.) croutons
  • 2 cups hot low-sodium chicken broth
  • 2 tbsp. fresh parsley, chopped tips & tricks
  • 1 tbsp. ground sage
  • 1 tbsp. dried basil
  • 1 tbsp. dried oregano
  • 1 large clove garlic, pressed
  • freshly ground black pepper, to taste (I always use mixed peppercorns)
  • 1/2 cup celery stick, finely chopped tips & tricks
  • 1/2 cup red onions, finely chopped

Directions

GIBLETS

  • In a small saucepan, add neck and giblets (except liver which is brown and soft).
  • Cover with 2/3 water, add some sea salt, onions, garlic, lots of sage and season with freshly ground black pepper.
  • Set the heat to medium and simmer for about 2 1/2 hours, adding more water when needed.
  • About half an hour before the cooking time is up, add the liver to the saucepan.

STUFFING

  • Meanwhile, in a microwavable bowl, add croutons, chicken broth, parsley, sage, basil, oregano, pepper, garlic, celery, and onions; set aside.
  • When cooking time is done, strain turkey giblets. Cut them into very small pieces and add them to the crouton mixture.
  • Cover with plastic wrap and transfer to the microwave. Cook for 2 minutes at high. After 40 seconds in the microwave, mix well and put it back for the remaining time. 
  • Remove from the microwave, give it a good stir, cover with plastic wrap and let it rest for 20 minutes. Before serving, reheat it.
