Turducken in Detroit

Follow me on:

Ever hear of Turducken?

According to the Urban Dictionary, Turducken can be defined as:

Any obese human that will set upon a buffet like a plague of locusts, stripping said buffet of all edible material, leaving only the garnish, the decorative toothpicks and the sweaty cheese cubes from earlier in the day.

Turducken can also be defined as a turkey stuffed with a duck, which is in turn stuffed with a chicken, which is in turn stuffed with sausage/cornbread. Before you start considering the logistics, you should know that it is possible to create a Turducken loaf by using just the breast meat from each of the three birds.

While one form of Turducken is easily found in the Metro-Detroit area, the other is still hard to come by. After an exhaustive search, this is what I've found out regarding Turducken in Detroit:

  • You can take the turkey by the legs -- so to speak -- and make Turducken yourself. My fellow About.com Guide to Home Cooking has a recipe that will take you through the process step by step.

  • Word on the street is that Peacocks Poultry Farm in Troy sometimes takes limited orders for the Thanksgiving Holiday. Sam's Club and Hickory Farms have also been known to carry a frozen version.

  • Of course, if you're going to go frozen anyway, you can order a Turducken from wherever U.S.A. and have it sent to you via FedEx. Farm Pac Kitchens (Compare Prices) has two different versions of Cajun Turducken: a boneless loaf and a semi-boneless, turkey look-alike.

Know of anywhere else to get Turducken in Metro Detroit?
