ONE NEW YEARS' NOTE: Didn't have a chance to mention this earlier, but Jen and I were able to fulfill one of our Life Goals for New Years' Eve:
We had turducken.
Yes, at long last, after years of pining, thanks to Hebert's Specialty Meats (recommended by a friend who spent much time in Louisiana) eight of us gathered around the table on Tuesday night for a deboned, cajun-flavored turkey, stuffed with a duck (deboned), stuffed with a chicken (deboned), the layers themselves separated by stuffing.
Just one big, tasty ball of poultry. Sliced it up like a large loaf of bread.
And because it came already prepared (packed in a cooler, uncooked, frozen in dry ice), we didn't have to go through all the extensive prep work that would otherwise be involved -- the deboning, the stuffing, the lacing-up, etc. Just four hours in the oven, and presto.
If you've been dreaming of turducken and don't want to make it yourself, go ahead and order one. You will not be disappointed.
