* 1 package neck, heart, gizzard from turkey giblets
* 1 medium carrot thickly sliced
* 1 medium onion thickly sliced
* 1 medium celery rib thickly sliced
* 1/2 teaspoon salt
* 1 turkey liver
* 3 tablespoons fat from poultry drippings

1. In a 3-quart saucepan, place neck, heart, gizzard, vegetables, and salt in enough water to cover, and cook over high heat.

3. Reduce heat to low; cover and simmer for 45 minutes.
4. Add the liver and cook for 15 minutes longer.

12. Meanwhile, skim and discard any fat that remains on top of the poultry drippings.
13. Add the remaining broth and enough water to the poultry drippings to equal 3-1/2 cups.
