A chicken stuffed inside a duck stuffed inside a turkey....WITH stuffing? All of the birds must be de-boned.
First of all, I had no idea that a chicken could fit inside of a duck. I figured it would be the other way around. And you have to wonder what made the inventor of this dish even TRY it?
Apparently, turducken (even the name sounds gross...."turd") was invented by Junior Hebert and his brother Sammy in Maurice, Louisiana. A farmer came into their butcher shop with all three birds, freshly killed, and wanted them stuffed. It didn't gain much traction in the south, but has somewhat of a cult following elsewhere.
You can get them from Dean & Deluca for $100 a pop or drive to your nearest Costco who sells them during the holidays. I think I'll pass.
