Black Rice Turkey Dressing
Super easy
Cheap
This is a turkey stuffing most often used in the south in place of traditional bread dressings. The blacker the rice, the better the stuffing. The s e c r e t of black rice is the chicken livers. The darker you cook them the blacker the rice. Also you can add more livers if you want to.

Ingredients
| 2 lbs Chicken livers |
| 6 tbls Olive oil |
| 4 stalks Celery chopped |
| 2 lg Onions chopped |
| 1 lg Bell pepper chopped |
| 1 tlbs Dried parsley or several sprigs of fresh chopped |
| 1 tlbs Italian seasoning |
| 49 oz Chicken broth (You may need more) |

Black Rice Turkey Dressing Directions
- In a large heavy Dutch oven, brown the chicken livers in the olive oil. Chop while cooking.
- When cooked dark, remove the livers, then add celery, onion and bell pepper to the pot. Sauté until onions are translucent. Return livers to the pot. Add Italian seasoning, parsley, chicken broth and rice. Be sure rice is well covered with liquid.
- Bring to a boil and continue stirring to keep the rice from sticking. If you need more liquid, add more broth or water. Cook for about ten minutes on high, then reduce heat and continue to cook for ten minutes more. Keep a close watch on the rice so that it doesn't get mushy.
- Just before the rice is done, add the pecans. Remove the rice from the heat and stir in the oysters, juice and all.
- Let stand at least 30 minutes before stuffing the bird. If possible make the dressing the night before, so that the seasonings get time to know one another.
