Preparation

Step 1

Simmer all of the ingredients in a heavy saucepan, skimming any foam that rises to the surface, for 1 hour. Strain into a bowl, reserving the giblets and neck; discard the vegetables. Cool, cover and refrigerate the broth. When cool enough to handle, shred the met from the neck and finely chop the giblets. Combine the meats, cover and refrigerate for later use in gravy.
