Turduckhen

[ojaij40]

Anyone ever actually made one?
would it be possible to deep fry one?

We did it one year. Each one of us boned a bird and made a different stuffing. I think we had a wild rice, corn bread and traditional stuffing. Boning the birds wasn't difficult but you need sharp knives.

I think frying it might be difficult only because when we cooked it the birds fell apart and made slicing it difficult. If you could find a way to wrap it tightly and ensure it stayed together I think you'd be fine.

Well,.one could wrap it in poultry wire, but I guess it would be awfully hard to cook the inside, when you deep fry a turk, the oil is inside also,..

What about using something to keep the inside bird spread open? Maybe form mesh wire into a tube? Then, obviously, don't stuff it. Nothing wrong with making stuffing separately and adding it afterward.

Damn. Looks great!! Have you checked out the creole ones stuffed with sausage and shrimp & crawfish? I wonder if you could order a UT on one to check for soundness
