Where to get a turducken

[Anonymous]

My kids have requested a turducken for Christmas. I'd really like to pick one up locally--does anyone know of anyone around here who prepares them? I also see I can mail order one from Dean and Deluca or the cajun grocer. Anyone have experience with either of these? In particular, is the cajun grocer turducken spicy? Many thanks!

Harris teeter had them but you might want to call.

They have them in the freezer section at Harris Teeter -- my kids thought it was the weirdest thing they have seen in a grocery store!

OP here--has anyone tried the Harris Teeter one? I've seen such mixed reviews on-line that I'm worried about buying one that's a disaster.

Friend of mine buys it at Harris Teeter every year for their Friendsgiving. She said it's pretty good.

We had the Cajun grocer one a few years ago. Delicious and not spicy.

I just bought a (frozen) duck at Costco but I've never heard of a turducken...sounds interesting. I hope you find one and if you do let us know where you find it.

Disgusting. Dead chicken stuffed inside dead duck stuffed inside dead turkey. Might as well be a damn vulture. Yuck.

Uh, we don't attack you for your vegan preferences. How about piping down and taking it elsewhere.

I had no idea you could buy one pre-prepared. I thought this was a DIY kind of project.

Have you made one of any brand before? I suspect the mixed reviews are mostly because it's essentially impossible to make a good turducken. The meats have different correct internal temperatures so you have to dry out come to make the others edible. Not necessarily Harris-Teeter's fault that it is a "good in theory only" dish.

I would order from the Cajun grocer and get the one stuffed with seafood jambalaya.

The vegan can add shrimp to that list.

I take it you haven't tried it?

I think you might be pleasantly surprised.

Not the "disgusted" poster, but I've tried it multiple times and never had a good one. I think the only way to make a good one would be to cook the three birds separately and then jam them together somehow.
