My younger sister's 5 year old wanted to help cook the turkey this time. So she reaches into the turkey and pulls out the gizzard and stuff. She screams oh yuck and runs off to the bathroom with her clean hand over her mouth lol. She asks her Mom what they were when she comes back and tells her how gross they are. Her Mom tells her that they were going to give it to the outside dog anyway. She told her Mommy not to because they were to gross for even the doggies lol. Our little foodie in training has a bit of a weak stomach.

Oh I always eat the neck on Thanksgiving day before anyone gets there. It's the cooks treat. The oysters are also a big favorite I save those for the day after thanksgiving. I think that people who have never cooked a turkey don't even know about these treasures. Shhhhhh! don't tell!
I put my giblets in the gravy. I do have to share those. People will notice if they are missing. :o
