Total time: 45 min
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 2 cups fresh cranberries ( if frozen, unthawed); 1 cup sugar; 2 to 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour; 5 cups Turkey Giblet Stock; 1 celery stalk, chopped finely; 1 small onion, chopped finely; 5 cups water; 1 bay leaf; sea salt; black pepper

Servings: persons

1
To make the stock: Take giblets and neck from enclosed pouch out of turkey. Set aside. Note: Leave out the liver when using the organs to make stock. The liver can overwhelm the taste of the stock and even add a bitter taste.
2
In a 2 quart sauce pan, add 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil, and brown giblets, neck, celery and onion. Stir occasionally. This will take approximately 5 minutes.
3
Add 5 cups of water to sauce pan.
4
Add bay leaf, salt, pepper and simmer stock for 45 minutes.
5
Pour stock through fine mesh sieve and into a bowl.
6
To make the cranberry puree: Combine 2 cups of fresh ( or Frozen) cranberries and 1 cup of sugar in a sauce pan over medium heat. Stir frequently until the sugar dissolve and cranberries break. About 10 minutes.
7
Puree mixture in the blender until smooth. Transfer to a bowl.
8
To make gravy: Remove turkey from the roasting pan and place on a platter. Deglaze the roasting pan by adding water and stirring and scraping over high heat. About 1 minute. Remove from heat.
9
In a small bowl, collect 1/2 cup of turkey drippings and mix with flour until thick. This will make a roux. For smooth, creamy gravy without lumps, use a wire wisk when adding the flour to the drippings, and beat rapidly. Transfer this to a sauce pan.
10
Add pan juices and stock slowly, whisking constantly.
11
Add cranberry puree. Continue on medium heat for 15 minutes.
12
Slice giblets and add to gravy. (Optional)
13
Season with salt and pepper to taste.
14
Cranberry puree can be made up to 1 day ahead. Refrigerate. Bring to room temperture before using. Stock can be made a day ahead as well. Cool completely before refrigerating.
