Are you sure it's not turkey liver and ground gizzards. It looks and taste like liver

i browned ground turkey and sausage with the green pepper, but cooked the rice and all other ingredients in my rice cooker. Then i put all the rice into the pan with the turkey pepper, and sausage. Fried it up and enjoyed it very much. the spices cooked right into the rice, and was very tasty.

Everything came out good. But I didn't get the darkness like the rice at popeyes usually looks.
