Has anyone a fool proof recipe for turkey,giblet gravy please?
It's my turn and I have a lovely bronze, free range turkey with giblets - seems a shame not to use them!
thanks in advance.

Make stock with the giblets. Then use the roasting juices while the turkey rests. Work some flour in, then gradually add the turkey giblet stock. Amazing!!!

I've made giblet stock today in the slow cooker (giblets, water, quartered onion, two carrots, celery stick, two bay leaves, thyme, peppercorns - skin still on the veg). Tomorrow I'll cook the turkey on a veg trivet, then when it's resting make gravy from the turkey juice, I use flour as a thickener. Probably very similar to Loveka

Personally CBA to make stock from giblets so I just put them in roasting tin around turkey while it's cooking. To make gravy, I pour as much fat as possible from tin. 'Official' way is to make a roux (paste) with flour (I use cornflour) in the tin and then add stock. I add vegetable water, starting some parsnip/potato water from parboiling and then water from greens later. Personally I find it less prone to lumpiness if I add the vegetable water then pour in a paste of flour and water I've stirred up in a mug. Heat through and it will thicken. Add plenty of seasoning to taste.

Then, if it's not tasty enough I go for any number of 'magic' ingredients like a bit of crumbled stock cube, a slug of wine, a tiny bit of Marmite or a shake of Worcestershire sauce. All make for a really tasty gravy.
