I never heard of such a thing! I'm a vegetarian, so as I'm sure you can imagine, that does NOT sound good to me!

That has GOT to be the weirdest thing I've ever heard of! Are you kidding me? I -must- try this someday!

I just gagged...

My husband is always joking that we should get one of these, at first i didn't think it was real. Has anyone ever tried one of these? is it good? i don't think i will ever try one, too weird!

What the freak?

You guys have never tried this obviously - because if you have there would definitely be no "gag" comments. It's absolutely incredible. SOOOOOOOOOOO GOOD!!! I mean imagine - duck, turkey and chicken. It's great. And my uncle is a chef in new orleans so he made us one that was really special and really YUMMY! Don't knock it till you try it, k?

BTW, the staple now in a South Louisiana thanksgiving is a fried turkey. In fact, it's all I've been dreaming about since November 1. My dad's fried turkey is amazing. He should win awards or something. (BTW, if you haven't tried it, you really need to, because it's not like "fried chicken" it doesn't have that batter fried coating. It's just so tender and so divine).

Interesating dish

Hm, it sounds like it'd be something I'd be willing to try.

I have always wanted to make one of these, I love all poultry. My brother did it once he said it was alot of work, but well worth the effort. Maybe for Christmas.

I'd defnitely try it if it was turkey and chicken, I'm not a fan of duck for some odd reason..

And fried turkey! It's defnitely a South sample now!I've been wanting to try out that, but I don't know anyone who would invite me to try it out! lol

starofsorrow, make a trip to N.O. for thanksgiving and you can try my dad's.

we always have fried turkey, too! pride of the south it's delicious

I"m an Alabama girl...so I gotta support my southern friends here....This is a great dish, along with Fried Turkey. And by the way...it called DRESSING not STUFFING....lol.....right southerners??

I SO want to try turducken, but I'm too lazy to do all that deboning myself and feel wierd about ordering one mailorder. Some day...

it is dressing. I agree.

Jen4Luck: If you order the poultry from a local butcher I'm sure he would be happy to debone the turkey, duck, and chicken for you.

I think it can have an egg in the middle sometimes

We have these every year. Best things in the world.

@syako - a friend owns an emu farm (that's right) and every year we get together at the farm and make "Ultraducken"! That's right, turducken in an emu! It's a lot of work but there's quite a few of us deboning and we have wine and gab while we do it and the reward is sooooo worth it!

Many local markets that have actual butchers (people who cut up the meat in the store)have been offering turduckens in the market. You usually have to order them at least a week in advance. As for fried turkeys, I was at an OSH yesterday and they had 3 different types of turkey friers. Looks like they anticipate a lot of sales....soon thanksgiving will be right up there with 4th of July because of the burns and fires that are occurring when people don't use the friers in a safe way or a safe place. Three gallons of boiling oil needs care.

:shudder: I'm sure it's tasty. . . but it just looks wrong. plain old turkey with stuffing is just fine for me.

I've never had turkey any other way than fried. My dad injects it with Texas Pete hot sauce so when it's sliced there are these delicious streaks of red yumminess. They put some kind of cajun rub on the skin, but I always pull it off...not a fan of skin, no matter how delicious it may be. Ugh...is it Thanksgiving yet?!?

While the "turducken" has only been around since the 1980's, this idea is actually a very old one. I recently visited Colonial Williamsburg where they were displaying the meals of wealthy colonials, including goose stuffed with duck stuffed with pheasant! They did all sorts of stuffing animals inside each other and then cooking them! There were several variations on the recipes. Yum.

I'm proudly from the South. I agree again with the dressing, not stuffing. Fried turkey...been there, done that (too many times.) But we had turducken one year and it was freakin' not good. Maybe it was b/c it was a premade frozen one or something but I did not enjoy it.

I would really like to try one of these one day, but I haven't made the plunge yet.

And, I do like fried turkey. But, my uncle does his turkey in his bbq - I have no idea how. It is THE best turkey I have ever had. SO moist and tasty.

These are SO yummy!!!!! *wipes drool off chin*

On Food Network this morning, they were talking about "stuffing" versus "dressing". Their distinction is...if it's cooked inside the bird, it's stuffing, if it's cooked outside of the bird, it's dressing.

Interesting. I'd try that trio of fowl.

It just does not appeal to me in the slightest. Fried turkey, on the other hand, does.

my dog has a canned food by merrick called turducken! that's the only reason i knew what that was haha

this is the kind of thing I dream about... as a displaced new orleans girl I want one soooooooo bad right now... I miss living near a local meat market and getting fresh things like this...
