As with all recipes "created by me", this recipe was created by accident.
I had made smothered fresh green beans for Thanksgiving. I sauteed some "creole seasoning"** in olive oil in a cast iron skillet. Added seasoned salt, black pepper, onion powder, garlic powder. Then I transferred it to a crock pot, along with fresh green beans, and added some chicken broth. Cooked down the green beans overnight.
** "creole" seasoning is in the refrigerated produce section; It's finely chopped onions, celery, green pepper, and garlic, in a container ready to use. I hate green pepper, but in the creole seasoning, you don't really taste it.
So when the green beans were all gone, I still had a bowl full of broth. So I decided to use the broth to make my turkey giblet gravy.
Roast the neck and giblets in the oven at 350 degrees. When they're done, chop the giblets and remove the meat from the neck.
Make a roux with butter (or turkey drippings) and Wondra flour, then mix in the green bean broth. Add more Wondra flour, and more green bean broth, until you have the amount of gravy you want. Add the chopped giblets and neck meat. Warm on low until it's ready.
I discovered that using the broth from the green beans made the giblet gravy taste like... green beans.
Which if you like green beans, is good. If you don't like green beans, you won't like this.
