My Grandma's Secret to the Best Thanksgiving Stuffing: Chicken Livers | The Nosher

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350°F.

Step 2

In a large bowl, soften the crackers in the water.

Step 3

In a medium-size skillet over medium heat, saute the chicken livers until the insides are no longer pink. Season with salt and pepper.

Step 4

Add the onions to the skillet and saute until lightly caramelized. Then add the mushrooms and continue to caramelize. Season with salt and pepper. When the mushrooms and onions are golden brown, add them to another large bowl.

Step 5

Finely dice the livers and add to the mushrooms and onions. Add the carrots and celery. Squeeze the water out of the soaked crackers and add to the other ingredients. Mix to combine and spread the mixture into a baking dish.

Step 6

Bake, covered, for 45 minutes. Then bake for an additional 15 minutes uncovered. Turn the oven up to 375°F if the stuffing is slow to brown.
