The real trick to this recipe is to not over-cook the giblets, otherwise they will become tough and unpleasant to eat. Cook them until just cooked through or even a little under-done. You'll finish the stuffing in either the turkey or the oven so the giblets will have plenty of time to cook to food safe. If cooking in an oven use a little bit more broth and cover for the entire cook time to ensure that the giblets don't dry out. If done well this will create a deliciously rich stuffing that has a lot of nice turkey flavor.

== Ingredients ==

 * 1/2c butter
 * Giblets from one turkey
 * 1c diced celery
 * 1/2c chopped onion
 * salt and pepper
 * 1t poultry seasoning
 * 8c dry bread cubes - make a loaf of [[Recipes/FrenchBread|French Bread]] 3 days before
 * 1c+ broth (preferably made fresh by boiling the turkey neck with some poultry seasoning or you can use chicken broth)

== Instructions ==

 1. Chop giblets.
 1. Cook in celery and onion over medium heat; cook till tender but not brown.
 1. Add giblets, reduce heat to medium-low, and cook until just barely cooked through but still tender (should take about 2 minutes).
 1. Remove from heat add salt, pepper and poultry seasoning.
 1. Toss giblet mixture with bread cubes and add enough broth to lightly moisten the bread, you may need more than 1 cup, you want the stuffing moist but not soggy; although soggy is far better than dry as some moisture will cook out.
 1. Use stuffing to stuff an 18# turkey or you can bake it separately, covered for 40-45 minutes at 375 degrees.
