Not at all. Good advice, in fact. |

OK, I'm simmering away. We'll see what happens. If it doesn't work, I'll do it again tomorrow, as per Jon's recipe - with the following changes: 1) I'll sauté/brown the giblets as well 2) I'll thicken with the Madiera/flour mixture rather than the fat/flour |

the ingredients are always different in turkey times. baking can be more precise. anyway, you have to be smarter than the turkey or the gravy and understand what produces depth of flavor, thickening, etc. Hard to do with just one experience. Me? i never get to take home turkey.. somehow all the vegetable leftovers end up in my car... they'll know we'll feed the creatures i guess and as i over heard one of the girls,, " give it to the Stevere***** - Mary will just make soup or something. |

So when do we find out who is smarter, George or the turkey/gravy? (my money is on George) Edited by somebody else's sock, Nov 27 2011, 11:58 AM.

So, here's what I did - the best of both worlds: 3 c Water 1 1/2 c Dry white wine 1 lg Onion, coarsely chopped 1 sm Carrot, coarsely chopped 1 sm Celery stalk (with leaves) - coarsely chopped 1 clove Garlic, crushed Giblets and neck from turkey - coarsely chopped Combine with salt and pepper to taste in medium saucepan. Partially cover and bring to simmer. Stock should reduce to 1 1/2 cups and have intense flavor. I simmered for about 4-5 hours I didn't add salt and pepper, thinking I could add it later. Beat together Madeira and flour (about 4 tbs and about 4 oz of Madiera) until smooth. I put that into another saucepan and, poured in reduced stock through strainer into it. I simmered that letting it get thick. Then I added the de-greased pan drippings. Added some salt (not much, at all) and oy vey, such a gravy! |

Forgot to add: I browned the giblets in some oil before putting them into the saucepan with all the veggies. |
