FAMILY STYLE GRAVY

Drippings from pan
Giblets, neck
salt
pepper
3 tablespoons cornstarch

If you wish, you can place giblets and neck from your turkey into a pan with 3 cups water and simmer for about 30 minutes to start your gravy. Remove the giblets and neck from broth. Then add the drippings from the turkey pan. Mix your cornstarch with 1/4 cup water, and add to the saucepan whisking it in. Bring to boil, stirring. Boil about 2 minutes until thickened. Season with salt and pepper as desired.

Optional: you can place a bay leaf and chopped onion in with the giblets. You will also have extra flavor from basting the turkey with your herb mixture above.
