giblets
Edible poultry viscera
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 to make gravy, stuffing, or stock: Don't forget to remove the giblets before roasting the turkey.
The word occasionally extends figuratively to innards or guts generally.
