Giblets is a culinary term used to refer to the internal organs of poultry carcasses â namely, the heart, liver, and gizzard. The origin of the word comes from gibier, which is the Old French word for game..
Gizzards are an inexpensive protein source. When you buy a turkey or a chicken, it is often stuffed with what are called giblets. One component of the giblets is usually the gizzard, which is a part of the bird's stomach. The bird swallows grit, which helps grind up food in the gizzard. This grit is removed from the gizzard before it is sold for food. While it may not sound appetizing to some, the gizzard provides a number of essential nutrients.
