Turducken

Turducken is a Louisiana dish that is rumored to have been invented in New Orleans, Lake Charles, and Maurice. The truth is no one is quite sure where the first Turducken was made, but since then it has gained recognition across the nation. Football announcer John Madden frequently mentioned turduckens during Thanksgiving Day games. As it has become more popular the turducken has been brought up on popular shows such as VH1’s Best Week Ever, Food Network, ESPN Sports, Fox News, and The Colbert Report.

But what is a turducken? Turducken is a semi-boneless turkey that is stuffed with a deboned duck that is stuffed with a deboned chicken. A layer of Cajun dressing or Vegetables (Onion, Garlic, Bell Pepper & Onion Tops) is placed in between each bird to create six flavorful layers of stuffing and poultry. This Cajun delicacy is definitely a crowd pleaser for a large group because it serves about 18 - 23 people.

Over the years a multitude of recipe variations have surfaced as well as cooking methods. The Best way is the Bake it, but don’t even think about trying to fry one. Many people think that a Cajun style deep fried turducken would be the ultimate feast; however, because the bird is stuffed and doesn’t have any bones to support itself in the fryer, it's not practical.

This bird is stuffed with Onions, Bell Peppers, Garlic, & Celery.  Also available is Sausage Rice Dressing OR Seafood at a additional charge.
