Wasting turkey gizzards is a mortal sin

Really sad modern day people do not respect the life of the sentient animal they eat by not consuming it all. It's even worse when manufacturers don't even include gizzards these days because people throw them away.

At a minimum make gravy out of the damn organs.

Manufacturers that don't include them are probably using them for their own purposes -- making their own stock or selling them to a soup company.

Gag. Of course I toss them. This is sort of why I hate going to a Thanksgiving elsewhere. I never know where organ meat might be lurking.

We use the neck, heart and gizzard to make gravy, and feed the liver to the dogs.

I have no use for the heart and neck though

Not even for gravy? I use those to flavor gravy.

Nobody likes your organ gravy.

I put the neck in the bottom of the roaster under the turkey and it comes out delicious. It’s one of my favorite bits.

I eat the gizzards only and throw the rest of the bird away, is that OK?

I LOVE the taste but only get it at Thanksgiving. My mom boils it, keeps the stock and I split it with the dog. I love the liver flavor but maybe because I never cook or am served liver anywhere. It kind of reminds me of a dense tinned oyster in texture and flavor.

I love the gizzard, heart and neck. None goes to waste.
