Smoked Turducken

My turducken turned out great, despite finishing two hours early, and my horribly inadequate craving skills.

I foiled and wrapped in a blanket; it was still warm 2.5 hours later, and plenty moist. Skin wasn't soggy which I feared after foiling.

No carved photos...it fell into pieces as I attempted to carve it.

Smoked it indirect at 250 for bout four hours with just a little cherry.

    CPARKTX , carving a Turducken can be difficult. The best way I found to carve is to first slice them in 1/2 from head to tail. Next place each 1/2, dressing side down, on the cutting board. Now simply slice from top to bottom, back to breast,  whatever thickness you would like. This works for me and gets the 3 layers of meat for about 75%of the bird.
    Good luck on your next one.

    Looks like a winner to me. We use to cook turdukens pretty regular. Haven't done one lately though. Again yours looks great and Happy Thanksgiving.

    The greatest barrier against all wisdom, the stronghold against knowledge itself, is the single thought, in ones mind, that they already have it all figured out.
