23. I'll second that

I simmer the turkey giblets and neck in a pot of water on top of the stove, along with chopped celery and onions, and heavy on the poultry seasoning, on low, for a long time. With the cornbread still in the pan I made it in, I use a knife to partially cut it into cubes. Then I take all the cooking juice with giblets, pull any meat off the turkey neck, pour it over the cornbread, and bake for about an hour. Comes out moist, and quite tasty. Easy peasy!
