Turducken
I smeared it with butter before cooking. The turkey and chicken were both brined. Stuffings were cornbread andouille and wild rice cranberry walnut. If I could solve the dry outer parts problem, it would be a go for T-day. Any suggestions?

Turducken are nightmares insofar as cooking temps/times go. The dark meat needs to cook more than the breast. Typically that involves cooking hotter, and usually the dark meat hangs out, heats better, and the breast benefits from the "thermal mass" and insulating air pocket. With the Turducken, cooking everything with that dark-meat-hot/breast-meat-cool philosophy is out the door.
The answer - sous vide will let it cook more evenly. But that's outside the reach of the average person. I think you have to compromise and cook the breasts a little over the ideal and you'll have the dark meat slightly undercooked. I'd cook at 200-250 in a moist environment until 160 internal. I'm just guessing on that number. You need to look at the coolest part of the frankenbird and look at the dark meat on the outside. Cook slow and low and keep it moist. That's all the advice I can give.

Is the lasagna post. That looks really good and the duck on the outside looks like a good idea, but it won't fly for T-day. Needs to be more turkey-shaped. I'm thinking of doing a turkey and a ducken - chicken inside a duck. -
thank you Backyard Mike it was killing me trying to find it. i even called max and he did not know where to find it
happy eggin

Steve - yeah, I've had a few that could handle something that big, and you can always make one with an iron, scissors and some wax paper.

Amazing place to go. Crawfish festival is over the top. Trip to Avery Island and two days eating boudin gets me geared up to go to NOLA. Crawfish boudin is the bomb

I'm a crawfish eating machine. I've never been to their crawfish fest, but I've been to the one my buddy's been running for the last 10 years in Mararro.
First one listed here (The Immaculate Conception School Louisiana Crawfish Boil). I always get in free Last year they went through 25,000 pounds of crawfish.

Maybe someday we can meet in the Red Stick and go there. I hope the afterlife puts me down there

I avoid red stick if I can help it, but I love that whole strip of acadiana along highway 90 from St Rose to Lafayette. You can't skip nola, c'mon. I'll show you how we eat and drink, in a place where eating and drinking is the hub of the culture.

I had a tur-duc-en one time. It was horrible. It reminded me of bu-di-ssy. I think the duck had gone bad or cheated and eaten some fish at some point.Be careful, man! I've got a beverage here.

Well as long as I can get some crawfish. Damn I love me some gator boudin though. Those folk are just deposed Canucks
