Lunch: Turkey Giblet Stock

Recipe by Gina Marie Miraglia Eriquez Classic Italian stock vegetables enhance this amber-gold broth for an unbeatable gravy that really complements the turkey.

Ingredients

Neck and giblets (excluding liver) from turkey
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 celery rib, coarsely chopped
1 carrot, coarsely chopped
1 large onion, coarsely chopped
2 garlic cloves, smashed
1 cup dry white wine
3 cups water
3 cups reduced-sodium chicken broth

Instructions

Pat neck and giblets dry. Heat oil in a heavy medium pot over medium-high heat until it shimmers, then brown neck and giblets, turning occasionally, about 5 minutes. Add vegetables and garlic and sauté until golden, about 5 minutes. Add wine and boil 1 minute. Add remaining ingredients, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper and briskly simmer, uncovered, until reduced to 4 1/2 cups, 45 minutes to 1 hour. (If you have less, add water; if you have more, continue to reduce.) Strain through a large sieve into a large bowl, discarding solids. Skim off and discard fat.
