1 C water
1 C drippings from roasted fowl
2 C white bread crumbs
2 tsp powdered ginger
1/4 tsp galingale
Salt to taste
1/4 C wine vinegar
Recipe
1. Preheat oven to 450°.
2. Prepare bird for roasting, place on a rack in a pan, and put it in the oven. Reduce heat to 350°, and roast for twenty minutes per pound, or until the bird is cooked through.
3. In a saucepan, over medium heat, combine giblets and water. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer for about thirty minutes, or until gizzards are tender. Remove from heat, remove giblets from pan and allow to cool. Reserve the broth.
4. Mince the gizzard and heart small. In a bowl, mash the liver to paste with a fork.
5. With a ladle or basting nozzle draw off at least one cup of drippings from the roasting bird. Add this to the broth in the saucepan. Stir in giblets, bread crumbs, and spices. Return to heat, and simmer for about ten minutes.
6. Remove from heat, and stir in wine vinegar. If sauce is too thick, add more drippings or vinegar. Serve with the roasted bird.
Yields two cups of sauce. Serves six to eight.
