Turducken Help
Posted on 11/1/24 at 2:04 pm

I am going to a relative's house for Christmas and they expressed interest in a turducken.
Any suggestions on the best place to order one online?
Thanks in advance...

Hebert’s in Maurice is the OG and best in my opinion.
Hebert’s
But many of the meat markets in Acadiana (Scott, Breaux Bridge, Eunice, Ville Platte…). All have incredible products.
Kartchner’s
Best Stop
Teet’s Ville Platte
Billy’s

Are they hard to cook? Never have tried but every time I eat it (usually from a good source) it’s pretty bad, dried out etc.

I've made this a few times over the years at the house for big gatherings and it is a good bit of work. The secret to cooking it is low and slow and covered most of the cooking time so you don't dry it out and overcook the outside.
The last one I fixed consisted of a 4 lb. chicken, 8 lb. duck and 20 lb. turkey, each stuffed with a different dressing. I used oyster dressing in the chicken, andouille dressing in the duck and cornbread dressing in the turkey and made them moist, but not wet when I stuffed the birds.
When finished, it was like cutting into a meat doberge cake and a huge hit with my guests.

That sounds awesome. Now you got me thinking.

Can you get one without stuffing and deep fry it?

I've never, ever thought of doing that since the turkeys I fry are all in the 13-15 lb. range and I cook them for 3 1/2 minutes per lb. at 325 degrees in peanut oil.
Adding 2 more birds to the equation would totally skew the cooking time I would think since it will be much denser. Remember, all the birds of a turducken are deboned and left whole and the turkey, after being stuffed with the other 2 birds needs to be trussed up to hold it all together.
It would probably be better to just cook all the birds separately to be safe.

I’m not a fan of them…I prefer a fried or baked turkey

Same, falls apart into a giant mess once carved and plated. Was a novelty to try once, that was enough for me.

I saw this done on a u-tube channel a couple years ago. I've also seen them cook stuffed ostrich over an open fire.
Kind of hard to find a camel or ostrich in S.E. La.

Bellue’s has a really good one.
If you don’t have a big enough magnalite covered roaster, the brown-in bags work well for this application. Just start out liw and slow and increase oven temp later in your cook. Juicy

The Romans used to do a cow stuffed with a pig, goose, duck, and chicken. That’s sounds delicious.

Probably not. The hole from the neck to the arse is essential in frying turkey because it makes it cook evenly. When it’s stuffed with other meats you would have very uneven cook times. The outside of the turkey would be burnt and over cooked and the chicken would likely be raw still.
