How to make giblet gravy with no turkey?

Answer 1

In lieu of turkey drippings, try chicken broth. I do this every Thanksgiving or any time I wish to make giblet gravy. Canned chicken broth is okay, but boiling a chicken with some onions and salt is better. Here's how I do it: Boil a few chicken thighs for about an hour. Meanwhile, boil an egg. Melt about half a stick of butter in a saucepan. Add about 1/3 cup of flour to the butter and mix well. Slowly add the chicken broth, stirring constantly. I usually add about 1/4 cup at a time. Continue adding broth until your gravy is the right consistency. Grate the boiled egg into the gravy. Take one of the chicken thighs and chop up the meat finely. Use this instead of giblets (tastes better anyway!)
