Yep, you read that right. We had TurDucKen for Christmas dinner! This one was also stuffed with wild rice and pecans.
The turkey's skin was coated with a spicy Cajun rub.
It comes completely de-boned except for the two turkey wings. Pop did the carving of the birds after they came out of the roasting pan.
All the meat was incredibly moist and flavorful -- perfection incarnate (pun intended, thank you). My sister and I agreed that it was probably the best holiday meal we ever ate. It was just that good.
Rick loved it.
Brian & Beth loved it.
Martha loved it. Her favorite part of the meal, though? The Hatch jalapeno garlic bread. I was quite fond of that part, too... it was scrumptious.
Granddad loved it.
And Miss Alice loved it, being the meat-eater that she is. After she cleaned her plate, she asked me if she could go back and get more meat. Of course, I told her she could. My baby girl would eat meat for dessert if given the option. And I suppose that's not a bad thing.
