Multiple-stuffed birds, the individual version
I actually asked for advice on doing this about six months ago, and have finally got round to doing it. Thanks: it turned out well.
C&Ping from my personal blog...
I've posted multiple-stuffed birds (to my main blog) before (I think 5 levels is the most I've ever done). This, however, was a bit different, and even by my standards, getting silly. Stuffed in reverse order of size. Rather than having the biggest on the outside, and working down to the smallest in the middle, this goes in reverse order, with the partridge as the outer-most bird.
No, I'm not using whole birds, it's all right. I boned the partridges, then added layers of meat before closing it all up.
In order from the bottom up: chicken, duck, and turkey (sausage-meat). One bird is about 1 pound of meat and serves two people.
Ingredients:
With all pictures, click through for the full size on Flickr.
First stage of assembly:
Duck placed on the left, turkey sausage as well on the right
Ready to go in the oven once I'd done two more
After 30 min cooking time:
Done!
Easy to carve:
and on the plate
