Yesterday, we spent some time catching up on shows taped by the DVR earlier this week, and one gave me an idea. I'm not sure which rock my head has been under, but I'd never heard of Turducken. A Turkey stuffed with a duck, stuffed with a chicken. I am sooo going to try this for Christmas dinner this year... I think. I've looked it up, and
this site looks promising. Should be a snap, right? The only foreseeable issues are...
- I have to come up with a couple more stuffing recipes we'll all like (I make a sage, bread recipe that's been made for four generations, though I have adjusted it each year to make it better)
- Not only do I have to find enough time to debone 3 birds, but I've only ever deboned a chicken breast. lol
- I've never cooked duck.
- I have to add all these extra things into a schedule that involves last minute shopping, cooking all the desserts, and getting extra sleeping arrangements around for all of our company. Did I say desserts? I meant 95% of the food... (which is what I like to do, so I'm not really complaining, just worrying).
Still, I think I'm going to try it just for the novelty. If I find it's too much work, but we like it, I will enlist help next time. If not, well then I guess we suffer through it for one holiday. Maybe the desserts can take everyone's minds off from it, in that case. lol
