Dining, Shopping, Entertainment, Thanksgiving, Rehoboth Beach, Christmas Tree Lighting, Visit Santa’s House, Moonlight Shopping…There is a Turducken in My Fridge, Delaware Beaches

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.
