Instructions

  1. Cook Coconut Bread first, let cool and cut into 1-inch cubes.
  2. To cook Coconut Bread: Preheat oven to 350 F (175 C). Blend eggs, oil, honey, and salt together. Set aside. In a separate bowl, combine coconut flour with baking powder. Whisk this into the egg batter thoroughly, until there are no lumps. Pour into greased 9x5x3 inch or smaller loaf pan and bake at 175 C (350 F) for 40 minutes. Remove from pan and cool on rack.
  3. To cook Stuffing: Preheat oven to 350 F.
  4. Heat a Dutch oven or large oven-proof and stovetop safe pan over medium-high heat. Add bacon slices and cook until crisped. Remove from pan and place on a paper towel to absorb excess fat.
  5. Add gizzards and hearts, sausage, celery, onion, garlic and mushrooms to the residual hot bacon fat. Saute, stirring frequently, until vegetables have softened (about 8-10 minutes). Season with sea salt if desired, and remove from heat.
  6. Gently stir in parsley, sage, rosemary, thyme, black pepper, sea salt, cooked bacon, and coconut bread. Pour stock over top.
  7. Bake uncovered for 40-60 minutes, or until the top begins to brown. Serve warm or room temperature. If you are following the Thanksgiving prep list, let the stuffing cool completely before covering and placing in the refrigerator.
