I think that would be fine! They can have chicken heart, and beef liver, so I don't see why not. I am not sue about the gizzard though...might want to double check before you feed it!

I would say you would be fine with the gizzards as long as you clean them off really good, and skin them, so there is just the red meat. (gizzards have a thick layer of "skin" kinda like a tendons, but on the entire inside). The gizzard, with the aid of pebbles swallowed by the bird, grinds the grains and food up, like our teeth do. No real digestion or fluid is present in the gizzard. When you cut open a fresh one all you have is rocks and crushed grains. The only reason I say "skin" it is because I am not sure if the "skin can be properly digested.
As far as getting it from a turkey you purchased from a store, it will most likely be empty, and probably pre-skinned.
I know my tegu loves chicken gizzards.
I would also check out this list.
