I buy M&S Turkey gravy so presumably I've got you giblets!

I make gravy for every other roast but I can do without that stress at Christmas.

Simmer, not summer!

Always summer the giblets for stock and finely chop the liver to add to the chestnut stuffing!

The cats get some of the giblets too!

CraftyGranny they probably use them to make their own fresh turkey gravy ?

The giblets made a good stock. what a shame. I wonder what they do with them?

Whenever I’ve bought a M&S turkey it’s only ever had the neck and no bag. I rely on the giblets for the gravy as my mother and grandma did. I buy my turkey at the farm shop now and remember to ask for that little bag. It dies make a difference to the gravy. I’m sure your gravy and Christmas meal will still be absolutely delicious

Well, only the neck. Picked up fresh free range turkey from M&S this morning, first time there has been no bag of giblets for stock. Never thought to check that it came with giblets, since they always have.

I suppose hardly anyone makes proper gravy with giblet stock any more - they buy it ready made.

I've got the neck simmering with veg now, but I don't suppose it'll be quite the same.
