Giblets from Turkey
8 Tbsp. flour
6 Tbsp. canola oil
2 celery stalks
2 medium yellow onions peeled and coarsely chopped
2 carrots
8 cups turkey stock or low-sodium chicken broth
2 bay leaves
8 fresh sage leaves
1/4 cup white cooking wine
1/4 cup apple sparkling cider
1 tsp. vanilla
2/3 cup heavy cream
Directions:
Dry giblets and season with salt, pepper and coat with 2 Tbsp. flour. Heat a large pot with 3 Tbsp. oil. Brown giblets remove and place on a plate. Discard extra oil. Add remaining 3 Tbsp. oil and when hot add onion, celery and carrots to pot with a pinch of salt and pepper. Cook until veggies are softened. Meanwhile heat chicken broth. Sprinkle remaining 6 tablespoons flour over vegetables and stir. Cook about 2 minutes more, stirring occasionally. Add hot chicken broth to the pot, stirring constantly and scraping up any browned bits that have adhered to the bottom with a wooden spoon. Turn off the heat and stir in white wine, sparkling cider, vanilla, bay leaves, and the sage. Place giblets in the pot. Turn the stove back on and bring mixture to a boil reduce heat to medium low, and simmer uncovered, for about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally until gravy is reduced and thickened and no raw flour flavor remains. Strain gravy through a fine mesh strainer into a medium saucepan. Stir in cream then return to the stove over medium heat to rewarm. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
