Old Dog 179138 Report post Posted October 4, 2011 I have a friend that swears by it.... There is now Osturducken.... all that in a commercially bred ostrich, suitable for a family of 114. Similar to a turducken, this food is a combination of four meats, ostrich, turkey duck, and chicken that are layered together and rolled into a poultry roast. With the exception of the ostrich meat, turducken and osturducken are prepared in the same manner, starting by spreading a spicy seasoning over the meat, then placing a cornbread and sausage stuffing over the meat as they are layered together, and rolling the layers into the shape of a roast. Typically, the skin of each bird is kept on the meat if this is hand made, in order to add moisture and flavor to the combination of meats. Commercially produced osturducken often removes the skin and layers only the meats together. Osturducken is not as widely available as turducken, which is generally found during seasonal celebrations, such as Christmas. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BarrhavenWoody 10776 Report post Posted October 4, 2011 Turducken, for those that can't make up their minds. Turkey, duck, chicken....oh crap, I'll just make all 3. Why not also make a filet of soleloin steak chop too? Okay, seriously..never tried turducken but it would probably be pretty tasty. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Code Blue 3585 Report post Posted October 5, 2011 I'm a turducken virgin too - and a bit oif a traditionalist at Thanksgiving. Keep us posted though. It sounds different. CB Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
April Dawn 12207 Report post Posted October 5, 2011 *scratches on the window with a sad orphan face* I want turducken for thanksgiving. I miss having family. *sigh* Posted via Mobile Device Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gentleman11 10508 Report post Posted October 5, 2011 Have done the Turducken experience twice with company and they really enjoyed it (family so its an honest review). It was something I would do on occasion, but was not an incredible culinary delight or otherwise memorable experience. Having said that, if dark meat is your thing (as it is mine), it makes the Turducken experince that much more enjoyable, YMMV Musings from a somewhat culinarily challenged single guy (great with the BBQ though).

Old Dog 179138 Report post Posted October 5, 2011 The real question is, "why would they begin any food product with "turd"?" 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nicolette Vaughn 294340 Report post Posted October 5, 2011 I've never tried it and never really stray outside of my comfort zone during the holidays by trying something other than fresh turkey. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ottawaadventurer 5114 Report post Posted October 5, 2011 I have always wanted to try this. I don't think I'll do it for thanksgiving, but definitely sometime soon! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VedaSloan 119179 Report post Posted October 5, 2011 I think I'll stick to one meat thank you. Multiple meats combined into one sort of weirds me out. I mean, do you really need that much meat? 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I am not sure "need" has anything to do with it. Like London Broils and Rouladen, or even turkey with sausage or oyster stuffing/dressing... it all depends on what you want to try or taste. I am sure it's not for everyone, but I would give it a shot.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Andee 220524 Report post Posted October 5, 2011 That looked AWESOME!!! If you think that's awesome, this is just downright decadent. Back to the thread: I've had duck and not a big fan. I think I'll stick to having some turkey with my stuffing (we always make extra stuffing). Oh crap, forgot, I'm on a low carb diet. No stuffing. But lots of turkey and veggies.

Royalfun 55449 Report post Posted October 5, 2011 I've never tried it, but my grand-mother used to cook in the same pan and together a roast of veal, pork and a chicken; the mix of taste of the three meats and the sauce that you do in the pan, MMM, MMM Maybe now I should call that veaporchick :icon_wink: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I hear ya... I am just coming from a perspective of a family of 6, 5 of them guys and when dinner was served, we became rather carnivorous. Mom would prepare a beautiful dinner and the roast would be gone in a nanosecond.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
