Yup! Thats what was on our table this Thanksgiving, a Tur-Duc-Hen! This is something my dad has been dreaming about since we were little and finally took the leap of faith. John Madden, the famous football announcer has apparently been serving up this treat for years. So, before we go into how it was, lets go into what it is. The first thought that came to mind was that it was some sort of hybrid animal a turkey mated with a duck and had an affair with a chicken, and then a TurDucHen was born! I am blonde so that is definitely not the case and not possible, go figure?! What it really is is a chicken stuffed with a duck and stuffed into a turkey. The birds are a creole cajun creation which you can choose to stuff with cajun cornbread stuffings or order crawfish rices and other sides to have a Louisiana themed Thanksgiving.
The cooking instructions were perfect nearly 5 hours in an oven with no basting or fussing around just pan, bird, oven...thats it. Turkey was moist and delish and duck and chicken were cooked to perfection! I think that it was a fun way to mix things up (literally) but, in the future I'll take my traditional Turkey.
