Truth be told I heard rumblings about this trio-bird concoction last year, but I think I shall give it a go this year. You may be asking yourself, “What pray tell is a Turduchen?”

A Turduchen is a de-boned turkey stuffed with a de-boned duck, which itself is stuffed with a small de-boned chicken. The name is a portmanteau of those ingredients, turkey, duck, and chicken. The cavity of the chicken and the rest of the gaps are filled with, at the very least, a highly seasoned breadcrumb mixture or rice dressing and sausage meat or seafood stuffing. (Source)

Turduchen is a Louisiana Cajun & Creole delight, reportedly folks like John Madden have been eating these Turduckens in the Madden Cruiser for years! If it can satisfy the appetite of a pro-footballer, it can undoubtedly quench the taste buds and hunger pains of all Thanksgiving stomachs.

I have never been a finicky eater, and my curiosity and taste buds have definitely been enticed. This may be the dawn of a new holiday staple, “Goodbye Turkey, Hello Turduchen!” This shall be the new feature at my family Thanksgiving dinner, I shall keep you lovelies updated on the response it receives, I’m sure it will be delicious.

Happy Gobble Gobble Day!
