Turkey Giblets 

1/2 cup  butter

1 teaspoon Allspice

1 1/2 teaspoon Poultry seasoning 

1 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper.

Boil giblets in water cooked until tender. 

Drain water set aside. Use a large pot  melt the butter then add flour and whisk together until it has a paste like texture. Add onions and 1/4 cup of apple cider or juice and 1/4 cup of chicken broth (I recommend Simply Apple Pressed Apple juice)  cook until onions are tender. Break away the meat from the neck add the meat  the remaining chicken stock, apple juice, Worcestershire sauce, allspice, pepper onion powder garlic powder paprika and poultry seasoning. Reduce heat to simmer and frequently stirring until the desired thickness. 

Tip: If it looks like it has too much liquid mix a teaspoon of corn starch and 1-2 tablespoons of water and add to gravy over reduced heat and stir frequently to make it thicker.
