so tell me about turducken ( my SIL is making one)
I'm more of a traditionalist and I'm not cooking Tx. Dinner this year.
I have no idea what turducken entails, and how it is made or cooked.
What's a "Texas Dinner"?
Don't tell me "Tx" is the primitive euphemism for "Thanksgiving."
No, damn it, no.

1. An orgy of cooked fowl
A chicken inside a duck inside a turkey.
Each is boneless. The net result is sliced meat with three species in each slice.
It seems a bit excessive to me.
I don't know anyone who has ever seen one, let alone eaten one, and surely never made one.

2. Is she making it from scratch herself?
It looks like a lot of work!

But I think you can get a butcher to assemble it for you. Never tried it either but it's probably good eats.
Uh-oh. The warped primitive seems to be anti-southern.

3. It's a mostly southern perversion of a deboned chicken stuffed inside a deboned duck and the two then inside a deboned turkey. A slice of the finished huge roll of solid meat would then give a diner a little turkey, a little duck, and a little chicken.
Why this is a good thing is beyond me. One presumably hides the whole mess under cranberry sauce and generic gravy, thus further blurring the distinctions among the three birds.
A better idea would be to cook all 3 separately, bones in, with sauces/gravies tailored to each bird.
But then it wouldn't be turducken, would it?

Sounds good to me. :cheersmate:
Warped one, how about we deepfry the SOB? :hyper:

I have never eaten duck. I think I need to try it before I die.

The ones in restaurants are more like chicken/duck. They are so over-fed it's the reason everyone associates ducks with being fatty. :lame:
Wild duck, on the other hand, is very lean, and when done right, can be as good as filet. Mallard, Wood duck, Widgeon, and Teal are my favorites.
