Directions:

1

Use the giblets from your turkey

2

With a heavy cleaver or large knife, chop the turkey neck into 2 to 3-inch pieces

8

Bring to a simmer, skimming off the foam that rises to the surface

9

Add 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 8 peppercorns

10

Reduce the heat to low and simmer, partially covered until the giblets are very tender, about 2 hours

11

Add the turkey liver and simmer until cooked through, 15 to 20 minutes

12

Strain, reserving the stock, if desired

13

Cool the giblets

14

Pull the meat off the neck

15

Chop the neck meat, heart, gizzard, and liver
