LOL! Jill I had the same reaction to seeing that recipe on TV the other
night. It looked so soggy and sloppy, and I bet it was bland too. White
bread, white rice and crackers?

The giblet gravy was likewise revolting, and I like giblet gravy, but
Paula Deen's recipe just looked like grey, pasty mushroom and liver soup.

I always make my giblet gravy with the pan drippings from the bird,
which give it good flavor and use up all the nice browned bits from the
pan for good color. Then I make a broth of giblets and the ends of the
celery, carrot and onion, and use that liquid in the gravy. I chop up
the actual liver and neck meat and put it into the dressing where nobody
seems to be offended by it.
