The flavor of turkey gizzard can be described as earthy and gamey, with hints of umami. The flavor profile is often compared to that of other organ meats, such as liver or kidney, but with a slightly milder intensity. When properly cooked, the texture of turkey gizzard can range from tender and juicy to slightly tough.

A popular use of turkey gizzards is to make traditional gravies and broths. The tough and muscular texture adds depth and richness to these preparations when simmered slowly over low heat.

Besides being used as a flavor enhancer, turkey gizzards are also eaten as a stand-alone dish in many cultures.
