My mother's classic giblet gravy recipe has been a family-favorite addition to every Thanksgiving and Christmas dinner for over 50 years. The giblets add a rich, meaty flavor and chopped hard-boiled eggs and cornstarch help to thicken it up. We love it on mashed potatoes, cornbread dressing, and turkey.
