1 package of giblets and neck from a turkey
1 teaspoon vegetable oil, or to taste
2 tablespoons minced green bell pepper
2 cups water
1 (14 ounce) can turkey broth
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1/2 cup cooked turkey, cut into small cubes
2 teaspoons milk
2 teaspoons distilled white vinegar
1 teaspoon white sugar

1/2 teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
1/8 teaspoon onion powder

1
Place giblets and neck in a saucepan with enough water to cover by 2 inches; bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, and simmer until cooked through, 30 to 45 minutes. Transfer giblets and neck to a cutting board.
