Thanksgiving Turduchen

Gonna do something different for Thanksgiving this year and add a Turduchen to the mix. Rouses has 10 different stuffings to choose from. Anyone ever had one? What was it stuffed with? Thoughts?

Is the stuffing needed to keep it from drying out or simply as a "bonus"? I didn't ask the guy for a list of all of the stuffings, but I'm sure they have all the bases covered.

We will also have a regular turkey and a honey ham, so it won't be the only choice available to everyone.

 

I like them stuffed with cornbread dressing. I never really cared for oyster and seafood stuffings in turkeys or turduckens.

 

Thanks. I was kind of thinking the same thing. I have never had one though. Do the 3 meats complement each other?

I always spelled it that way. At Rouses, they spell it turdechen, as in hen on the inside. Who knew?

 

It's just something different than the same old turkey. I had one that was a mess and fell apart and another that made beautiful slices with layered meat and stuffings. Get one from a place that has a reputation for quality.

 

Thanksgiving at our household is a big deal each year. We will have about 35 people and way too much food as always. We just thought it would be nice to substitute one of the turkeys with a turduchen since none of us had ever tried one. We start cooking a couple days before and people stay till late at night. You would think it was the Waltons with the way we all get along and do corny family stuff.

 

Probly right. sucks to have to worry about it. Stop by for a beer anytime!

And I knew you were just shytin with me. In our family, holidays tend to get excessive - it's all about getting the family together.
