About Turkey giblets

Turkey giblets are the edible internal organs commonly packaged with a turkey, usually the heart, liver, and gizzard; the exact assortment can vary, and the neck may be included separately. The pieces differ in colour, texture, and flavour, with the liver softer and more strongly flavoured than the heart or gizzard.

They may be cooked separately or used in stocks, gravies, and other preparations. Giblets are sold fresh or frozen and may be raw or cooked. Because the package contents vary, the term does not identify a single organ or uniform ingredient composition.
