When the fat begins to smoke, add the livers (being careful of splattering) and cook in one layer for approximately one to one-and-a-half minutes on each side, stirring in the chopped garlic and herbs at the last moment.
02Remove immediately from the heat and transfer the livers to a plate. Arrange the toasts on a large platter. Cut each turkey liver half into three or four pieces (or each chicken liver half into two pieces). The livers should be pink inside. Serve immediately on toast.
