Tardunken

[lulu_bucket]

Anyone know where you can buy a Tardunken ie a duck inside a chicken inside a turkey etc for Xmas dinner?

Have fun and just make it -

.......part bone a 8 1/2 lb turkey. Layer some stuffing over the insides, and fill the cavity with a 2 lb chicken, fully de-boned. Season well, and fill the cavity with 1 lb or so of boneless duck breast. Finally fill the remaining space with more stuffing so that there is no air space. Add somne fancy spices - cumin, paprika, cayenne etc plus a good load of herbs, fruit like cranberries, apricots, raisins - to jazz up the stuffing if you fancy.

Form the meat into a good shape - use your best 'guess' - cover and cook breast down first for 4 1/2 hrs or so in a med hot oven - 325 f / 170c, then finish for 1 hr breast up and uncovered to brown. Rest, carve & serve. Use a probe thermometer to make sure the internal temp is at 300f / 165c at least, so you know the thing is cooked through.......the above is a guide - I take no responsibility for making everyone ill cos you haven't cooked it properly!

A good butcher will make one up if you ask realllllllllly nice.

if you google it up you'll find a number of sites that do mail order. and i think the word is 'turducken' - TURkeyDUCKchickEN.

marks and spencer do a boned one serves 5-7 for �32.or a free range boned one serves 10-14 for �99. Has to be ordered in advance from the food order booklet that you can collect from the store.

Depends on where you live, the butchers in Modbury, Devon used to do them, and if you live in the North West I think Booths sell them.

Do they really? I live near Modbury. I have never heard of turducken but I feel inspired to try one having read all of the above.
