Turkey, stuffed with a duck, stuffed with a chicken. It's like an orgy of fowl. (at least that's how it sounds, and perhaps because it rhymes with fuckin')
Anyone had this/done it/hated it?
I am intrigued enough to do this for Xmas Eve at my place...we're deep-frying our turkey for T Day tomorrow. Something we've done a lot. But the turducken sounds...interesting.
I saw you can BUY one of these already "stuffed" in the grocery store when I bought our turkey for tomorrow as well. But I'd like to do it myself, if I'm going to do it at all, that is.
Anyway, anyone with an experience, good or bad, with TURDUCKEN?
I've got a friend who owes me a turducken this thanksgiving, but I can't say I've had it before.
the chef at the spa my wife used to work at made one once.
it was awesome.
Yeah.

It's actually a pretty old school method of cooking and was very popular in medieval feasts, hence why another term for a meal's course is a 'remove', since you were 'removing' the object from the larger animal.
Never had it exactly, but I have had turkey stuffed with a chicken stuffed with various ham and bacon morsels. If the chef, my ex-uncle, had somehow managed to get some hamburger or steak meat in there, the whole thing would have been like a culinary Voltron or Megazord. As it was, however, I had to settle with eating a lesser (though still delicious) culinary Super Human Samurai Cyber Squad.

At least it wasn't the Tattooed Teenage Alien Fighters From Beverly Hills.

I still have two really old PR episodes on VHS, as well as the PR movie. Their crapulence is stunning.
It still makes me laugh that they put the black kid in the black suit, the Asian kid in the yellow suit, etc.

All the transformed Ranger / Zord / Villian scenes were copypasta'ed from an older Japanese show.

I knew this, it's just one of those things that make it so awful and awesome.
Hm...I am thinking of marrying this recipe from Paula Dean: http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/paula-deen/turducken-recipe/index.html and the bacon-wrapping idea! The thought of cornbread stuffing is faptastic.

It did loose that tongue in cheek feel after the first season or two though.
Success ruined it. :lulz: (Mental image of the Megazord, it's nose smothered in cocaine looking to the heavens and bellowing "WHYYYYYYY?!?!")

Funny thing is, they based an entire episode around that plotline during their ninth iteration in an ill-fated attempt to reach the adult demographic. Unfortunately the episode tanked and the writers were fired and forced to move on to write "Pushing Daisies."
Glad to see they've amended their ways and gotten to writing some quality programming.
Turducken huh?
I've never had it but I've seen it made.
If you're good with dismembering and de-boning foodimals, then it really isn't hard.

Cornbread stuffing isn't stuffing, it's dressing.

Do tell. Well, Paula Dean called it stuffing, so I guess that's where I got it from.
Also--told my family I wanted to do turbaconducken for Xmas Eve and they cringed. :lulz:
Regular bread = Stuffing
Cornbread = Dressing (at least for Southern people who know better.)
Also it's how you serve it. Typically stuffing is left in the bird and the dressing is removed after cooking before the bird totally cools and served in a bowl. *shrug*

Yeah, this recipe she had called for the cornbread mixture to be left in the birds and you serve it all in slices, with the stuffing in layers. Sounds like it's a stuffing, but made with cornbread instead.
We had this conversation at dinner last night.
my wife and i had the understanding that if it was cooked separately, that it was dressing. If its stuffed in the bird, it's stuffing.
we were told, in no uncertain terms, that we were wrong.
I've found some sources that agree with me, you, or say that it's just a regional hoagie/grider/sub/hero type thing:

I like my definition, because it seems more functional...
This just in:
Turbaconducken is a go. Repeat. Turbaconducken is a go. Will post pix. Over.
I was going to have a turham, but then it turns out that the first day of Hannukkah coincides with Yule this year, so I will not be stuffing the turkey with ham after all because me and my friends always celebrate together.
I think I'll do a rice dressing with sage and almonds.
Ok, so turbaconducken was awesome. I have pix. On flickr.

:thanks: Thank you! We took the bacon off near the end because the damned thing got too oily and we had to decant maybe a GALLON of fucking grease out of the thing. But the bacon was just a condiment at the end, really. Had a lot of it left over, but it did its job.
That looked amazing!! Now I really have to try one. I have to ask, was the combination of the bacon (seriously greasy) mixed with duck, which to me is always greasy, just too much?
Nah. Once you decant all that grease off, it's really very lean.
Here's the upshot photo:

THANKS! :D I am switching out the above pic, though, because it doesn't show the slices well enough...
that was some fine de-boning and trussing action you had going on there.
I'm proud :)
:D We had fun.
It occurs to me that Turducken may very well be the best illustration of America, ever.
It paints us in far too flattering a light. If you made a turducken-style dish out of a twinkie, a big mac, and a 44oz. Diet Coke, you'd have it nailed.

You mean a big mac covered with 'sponge cake', soaked in coke and then deep fried?
