Turducken

Anybody ever try cooking one for Thanksgiving? Tell us about it

 

I made one once. Not for Thanksgiving. You don't experiment for Thanksgiving (or on guests.)

It was an incredible amount of work. The inside birds came out like they were boiled. Boiled duck is not that good. The recipe called for a lot of Paul Prudhomme's (Meat|Fowl) Magic which seems to be mostly cumin.

Maybe it was just something I didn't do well at. It became a family joke and I never gave it another try.

I'm preparing to smoke a turkey later tonight. Something like this: http://www.smokingmeatforums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=83028

 

im having it for thanksgiving. it should be interesting. we normally deep fry our turkey which is soooo good, i love it. but we decided to do something different this year. i'll let you know how it is tomorrow.

 

Deep fried in my opinion is THE way to go- that was the best turkey I ever had!


...that smoked bird is lookin' mighty tasty, though

 

They sell them at Fry's pre prepped, all you need to do it grill em.

 

my friends family make this it is awesome. i dont know how they make it but its good.

 

we are having one this year. Back in 07 we went to my uncles up in fountain colorado and they introduced us to the turducken. My mom finally decided her own this year.
