Ingredients

  • 1 Package Shady Brook Farms® Turkey Gizzards (about 2 Lbs.)
  • 4 cups chicken stock or bone broth
  • 3 cloves garlic, finely chopped
  • 1 can (14.5 oz) diced fire-roasted tomatoes
  • 2 tbsp tomato paste
  • 1 tbsp chicken bouillon powder
  • 2 tsp onion powder
  • 2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tbsp turmeric (optional)
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 1 sprig thyme
  • 1 sprig sage
  • 2 tsp black pepper
  • Sea salt, to taste
  • 3 carrots, sliced
  • 1 medium potato, peeled and cubed
  • 1⁄2 green bell pepper, diced
  • 1⁄2 yellow bell pepper, diced
  • 1 yellow onion, finely diced
  • 1⁄2 cup chopped cilantro, for garnish

  • Step 1

    Rinse the gizzards well in cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Cut out the center tendon and discard. Cut the two halves into bite-sized pieces.

  • Step 2

    Place the gizzards in an Instant Pot or electric pressure cooker with 1½ cups water and pressure cook for 20 minutes, then allow natural pressure release for 10 minutes.

  • Step 3

    While the gizzards cook, heat olive oil in a Dutch oven or large heavy pot over medium heat. Add the onion and sauté́ for 3–5 minutes. Stir in the garlic, potatoes, carrots, and bell peppers and cook for 1 more minute. Add 2 cups of chicken stock, the diced tomatoes, and tomato paste. Stir well. Add the cooked gizzards and broth to the pot.

  • Step 4

    Stir in the chicken bouillon powder, onion powder, garlic powder, turmeric (if using), oregano, bay leaves, thyme, sage, black pepper, and salt to taste. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 30 minutes. Garnish with cilantro before serving.
