giblet

Fowl organ meat

Giblets are the edible internal organs of poultry—typically the heart, liver, gizzard, and neck—removed before cooking and often packaged inside the bird's cavity.

They're used for gravy, stuffing, or stock: Don't forget to remove the giblet bag before roasting the turkey.

The word is almost always plural.
