Chicken Giblet Stock Recipes

Steps:

• In a large saucepan, combine the wing, neck and giblets (excluding the liver), 6 cups water, celery, carrot, onion, sage,garlic, bay leaf and peppercorns.
• Bring mixture to a boil, reduce heat and continue to cook at a simmer, skimming the froth occasionally for 1 hour.
• Add liver and continue to cook at a bare simmer for an additional 30 minutes.
• Strain the stock through a fine sieve into a bowl.
• There should be about 3 cups of stock.
• Reserve the turkey wing, liver, neck and remaining giblets.
• Chop the giblets finely and shred the meat from the wing for the gravy or soup.

Steps:

• Fry the giblets and/or livers in the olive oil until brown.
• Add the spices and seasonings and stir well.
• Add the chopped onion and garlic. Fry for 5 minutes.
• Add wine and simmer gently until cooked.
• If you are cooking giblets only, a little water may be added if necessary.

Steps:

• In a 2 quart saucepan, simmer the giblets, salt, pepper, bouillon, celery and onion in 1 quart of water for 40 to 50 minutes.
• Discard celery, onion and gizzard. Chop liver and neck meat and return to pan. Add chicken broth or if you have a turkey, use drippings (about 1 1/2 cups and 1 can of chicken broth).
• Chop eggs and add to broth. Mix cornstarch and milk together and slowly add to broth. Stir well until thickened. Reduce heat to low.

Steps:

• Trim any fat or membrane from the giblets. The liver should not have the gallbladder (a small green sac) attached. If it is, trim it off carefully, removing bits of the liver if necessary. Do not pierce the sac; the liquid it contains is very bitter. Rinse giblets and neck, and pat dry.
• In a medium saucepan, melt 3 tablespoons butter over medium heat. Add onion, celery, and leek. Cook, stirring occasionally, until onions are translucent, about 8 minutes. Add salt and pepper, and cook 1 minute more.
• Add the water, bay leaf, gizzard, heart, and neck (do not add the liver). Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, and reduce to a full simmer. Cook until gizzard is tender when pierced with a paring knife, about 45 minutes. Transfer gizzard, heart, and neck to a plate, and set aside. The liquid should be released to about 3 cups; if not, raise the heat, and cook 10 to 15 minutes more.
• Meanwhile, finely chop liver. Melt remaining tablespoon butter in a small skillet over medium-low heat. Add liver, and cook, stirring constantly, until it no longer releases any blood, 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer to a plate, and cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate until ready to use.
• Strain stock through a fine sieve into an airtight container, discarding bay leaf; let stand until grease rises to the top, and skim off with a large spoon. Finely chop gizzard and heart, and pull meat from neck; add to stock along with reserved liver. Refrigerate until ready to use.

Steps:

• Trim any fat or membrane from giblets. The liver should not have the gallbladder, a small green sac, attached. If it is, trim off carefully, removing part of the liver if necessary. Do not pierce sac; the liquid it contains is very bitter. Rinse giblets and neck; pat dry.
• In a medium saucepan, melt 3 tablespoons butter over medium heat. Add chopped onions, celery and leaves, and leeks. Cook, stirring occasionally, until onions are translucent, about 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper; cook another 5 minutes. Add 4 cups water, bay leaf, gizzard, heart, and neck (do not add liver; it needs to be cooked separately or it makes the stock bitter). Bring to a boil, then reduce to simmer. Cook for 45 minutes, or until gizzard is tender when pierced with the tip of a knife.
• Meanwhile, chop the liver finely. Melt remaining tablespoon of butter in a small skillet over medium-low heat. Add liver and cook, stirring constantly, 4 to 6 minutes, until liver no longer releases any blood and is fully cooked. Set aside.
• After 45 minutes of simmering, the liquid should reduce to about 2 1/2 cups. If it has not, increase the heat and cook another 10 to 15 minutes.
• Strain broth. Chop gizzard and heart very fine and add to strained broth along with chopped liver. Pick meat off neck and add to broth. Set aside until needed for gravy.
