November 20th, 2012
My Thanksgiving Turducken arrived today. Some years it comes for Christmas…I am glad it came early. I have been getting turduckens for years. I have also tried different companies. My favorite is from a company in Louisiana called Cajun Grocer. They have them available online at http://www.cajungrocer.com.
A turducken is a partially deboned turkey, stuffed with chicken and duck. In between the layers, you will be surprised to find stuffing; different choices for you to pick from. All are on the website. Having someone in my family that needs to eat gluten free, I decided to call them. This year their gluten free turducken is the one with a stuffing of Cajun style veggies; onions, bell peppers and Cajun seasonings.
 Turducken, 2011 The idea is that as once you cut the turducken, you will be able to have a taste of the 3 meats, plus the stuffing. The turducken is so good, easy to prepare and, definitely, a conversation piece.
 Turducken, 2011 If you are visiting Rehoboth Beach, or decided that this year you are going on strike and not cooking, then, check out the restaurants that will be open on Thanksgiving Day. Please call them for verification. You never know what could change unexpectedly.
