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?

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.
