Giblet and Mushroom Bread Salad

This giblet and mushroom bread salad is a sophisticated way to ensure nothing goes to waste when preparing a roast poultry feast. A high-protein dish that leans into the deep, savoury flavours of turkey offal, it combines tender heart and gizzard with earthy celeriac and sliced chestnut mushrooms. The bread cubes are toasted until golden and then soaked in a rich, vinegar-spiked giblet dressing, creating a texture that sits somewhere between a classic Panzanella and a traditional stuffing.

Ideal as a substantial warm starter or a rustic side dish for a winter lunch, this recipe celebrates nose-to-tail eating with a refined touch. The inclusion of sherry vinegar provides a sharp contrast to the rich meat, while the fresh parsley and dried oregano add a fragrant herbaceous finish. It is a brilliant choice for those looking to add a boost of iron and protein to their meal through traditional, flavoursome ingredients.

How to make Giblet and Mushroom Bread Salad

Chop liver and transfer to small bowl; cover and refrigerate. Bring broth, neck, heart, and gizzard to boil in heavy large saucepan. Reduce heat to medium; simmer 1 hour. Strain broth into medium bowl; reserve. Remove meat from neck; place in small bowl. Chop heart and gizzard; add to bowl with neck meat.

Heat 2 tablespoons oil in medium skillet over medium heat. Add onion and garlic; sauté until tender, about 3 minutes. Add reserved liver; sauté until cooked through, about 4 minutes. Add chopped neck meat, heart, and gizzard, 350ml reserved broth, and 60ml oil. (Dressing can be made 2 days ahead; cover and refrigerate dressing and any remaining broth separately.)

Preheat oven to 204°C. Divide bread cubes between 2 rimmed baking sheets. Drizzle 2 tablespoons oil over bread on each sheet; toss to coat. Toast bread in oven until golden brown, turning once, about 10 minutes. Transfer to large bowl.

Add mushrooms, celery, celery root, 1 tablespoon parsley, and oregano to bread. Bring dressing to simmer; remove from heat. Stir in vinegar. Pour dressing over bread mixture; toss. If desired, drizzle remaining broth by tablespoonfuls over bread mixture to moisten. Sprinkle remaining chopped parsley over. Let stand at least 10 minutes and up to 1 hour.
