Mort and Jen made turducken, mostly just to see if they could. Turducken is an unholy bird, consisting of a chicken in a duck in a turkey, with stuffing between the meats. Their first step was to debone all birds, with the exception of the drums and wings on the turkey (for presentation). This allowed them to stack the layers - from bottom to top there is turkey, stuffing, duck, stuffing, chicken.
The next step was to sew the turkey up, and trying to create the illusion of a bird that still has bones, instead of an abominable meat-sack:
Then cook. For a really long time. This is extremely important, as turducken is the perfect storm for food-poisoning. I think this one took about 10 1/2 hours. The outcome was very successful.
We had 17 people eating dinner that night, and managed to consume nearly half of the frankenfowl. Food-poisoning: nil.
