    Giblets are people, too!

    There are those, Trisha included, who pass on the giblet gravy because they dont care for giblets, which traditionally include the liver, heart, gizzard, and the dark meat from the neck.

    For giblet-free gravy, substitute a bit of shredded white meat from the turkey or boiled and shredded chicken breasts for the giblets.
