3 cups chicken or turkey broth
2 cakes (2 inches square) of cornbread
4 hard-boiled eggs, chopped
Small package of chicken livers, chopped
Small package of chicken gizzards, chopped
Sage
Poultry seasoning

Crumble breadcrumbs into large bowl. Sauté onions and celery in butter. Add vegetables to crumbs, along with 2 cups of broth. Crumble two cakes of cornbread and remaining broth into mixture. Add eggs, livers, gizzards, sage, poultry seasoning, salt, and pepper. Add more broth if necessary. Mixture should be very soft to allow for loss of moisture during baking. Pour into greased pan, and bake at 350° until done.
