Steps:

• Clean and rinse gizzards, being sure to trim off any green material.

• Heat oil in a large electric skillet to medium high heat. Fry coated gizzards in oil until brown & crispy. Pour off any excess oil.
• Add onion and enough water to almost cover gizzards. Stir to get bits on the bottom of skillet incorporated into water. Cover and cook on slow simmer for 3 to 4 hours or until gizzards are very tender.
• Stir every so often. Add water if necessary; you want a gravy-like consistency when it is done.
• When gizzards are "fork tender", add can of soup gradually. Stir in with fork. If using mushrooms, add now. Replace cover and simmer another 10 minutes.
• Serve over rice or noodles.
• *I sometimes double the gizzards so I add both the can of mushroom soup and a can of celery soups.
