Any tips on how to recover from giving a bad answer on an interview?

I found that whenever I come across a question I am ill-prepared for, I sometimes end up jumbling up my answers to a point where it doesn't make sense or I just keep talking in hopes of it sounding good. What are some tips that can help me recover when I find myself trailing off?
