Gravy
  1. Preheat skillet to medium heat.
  2. Sauté giblets with 1 tablespoon of butter, until brown.
  3. Add ½ cup of water to deglaze pan (scrape browned bits from the pan and mix into the liquid).
  4. Pour contents of skillet into a 2-quart sauce pan. Add 2 cups of water, bay leaf, salt and pepper.
  5. Cover and simmer on medium to medium-low for one hour. Add more water as needed to keep the pot from boiling dry. Strain broth, discard giblets.
  6. Preheat a skillet to medium. Add 1 tablespoon of butter and ¼ cup of strained giblet broth. Slowly add ¼ cup of flour, stirring constantly to make a roux. When flour thickens, slowly add remaining giblet broth and pan drippings from roasted turkey. Stir until thickened and bubbly.
