@coffee drinker  How many people will 6.6 oz. of Turducken serve?  Curious since I've never had the meal. However, I love turkey, chicken and duck individually. Not a fan of sausage anything. Could I eat around that part to avoid the salt and pork flavors if ever encounter such a meal?

Saw it in their booklet. I am going to try it for my holiday open house this year, something different.

@panda1234  Hope you let us know how it was.  With the pros and cons, I'm undecided.

They’re not all created equal. Homemade is best.

@panda1234 @coffee drinker  Thanks for responding. That receipe serves many people, which makes it a reasonable holiday meal. I beginning to like the idea of giving it a try with my family! We've never had Turducken.

I'm cooking for the first time in years (mom had been in Assisted Living/Skilled Care for so many years and unable to negiate the steps into my home). Sadly, my mom would have loved to try something new! Life goes on and we'll toast to her in a healthier and better place. Thanks for sharing the information. Your ideas for a different Thanksgiving have enthusiased me for 2019! Hope the rest of my family are game to give it a try.

My friends husband is from New Orleans and his family makes it from scratch, no sausage in it though. My friend doesn't eat meat and neither does her husband since he married her, except when they make Turducken once or twice a year.

Yuck!  This is the dumbest name for a item of food I have ever heard.  JMO

I think  the turducken mentioned at the beginning of this thread was listed as weighing 6.6 POUNDS, not 6.6 ounces.  

The turducken sold at our local Cajun market is bigger than that --for about the same price--and supposedly (according to the link I posted from the market's website) will feed more than 20 people.

Obviously, it's not something you buy to serve at a small intimate dinner party!  LOL!!

Also, it doesn't look very appetizing in the photo  from our local market.   Maybe it tastes better than it looks.???

For whatever it's worth, last year our hostess had a Turducken as part of her holiday table.  I remember she had bought, not made, it.  I was eager to taste it since I had heard so much about the concept.  It was really a disappointment since it had very little flavor at all.  I remember it was moist, but it kind of tore apart in cutting and lost even its eye appeal.  If you know the Western phrase "All hat and no cattle" -- it describes that particular Turducken.
