• 1/2 green bell pepper (minced)
• 4 cups bread (cubed in 1/4 inch pieces and toasted)

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350ºF. Grease a 9" square baking dish.
In a large sauté pan, add onion, celery, garlic and bell pepper and cook until tender, about 5-7 minutes.
Add bread one cup at a time, moistening the bread with broth, as needed. After all of the bread is in and moistened, add tarragon, marjoram and sage and mix.
Once all of the ingredients are combined, drizzle with truffle oil and fold together until combined. Add the gizzards, cranberries and pecans and mix to combine.
Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes until golden brown.
