Turducken Roll

To cook or buy ? The turducken roll looks easier to cook than doing a
full bird. If i was to by a turducken roll where do i buy one ?

At the turducken roll store, of course.

Cooking a turducken has always seemed like a lot of work to me. To
begin with you have to bone the chicken, bone the duck, and partially
bone the turkey. And who wants to eat all three at once, anyway, even
if the roasting time were identical for all three, which it isn't?
But if someone sells an already prepared roll that you just stick in
the oven, and if you want to try it, buying seems very preferable to
making.

Turducken didn't achieve much of a following, unlike when the deep
fried turkey fad came along a few years ago. I'm a little surprised
we haven't had a thread about how to deep fry a turkey safely, but
maybe thems as want to do it already know..... -aem

Turducken didn't exactly catch fire, did it. I think that's
because in the end it's a novelty, whereas deep fried turkey
really does have some unique attributes. The ultra crispy
skin, etc.

Turducken, on the other hand, ends up as less than the some of
it's parts. Few try it twice.

How can you get better than some slices of roast turkey with stuffing and
potatoes with a good gravy? I suspect that turducken was never any more
than a joke.

I bought a "turkey fryer," but it was to have a propane burner and a stock
pot; I have never fried a turkey. Fried turkey is a joke also.

Believe it or not, there's a Omaha Steaks retail store
not far from me. After hearing the reviews of their
steaks in this newsgroup (some time ago), I'm not
tempted.

There's a way to do it safely? According to whom,
Edward Teller?

Okay, you personally have never fried one, but have you actually HAD
one? Eaten any?

Um... Mark, what do Omaha Steaks have to do with turducken?

No, it isn't. It's quite good. Now, making fried turkey FOR
THANKSGIVING is no joke. It is a thoroughly crappy thing to do.
Indefensible. Trashy. My sister-in-law's husband did that last
year. I love the guy. I really do. He's a great person in every
other way that I know of, but they served fried turkey with this [censored]
that came out of a jar that said, "turkey gravy," but of course was
not even marginally worthy of that moniker, and they did it on
Thanksgiving!

It was the weird store aspect. I think it's weird
anybody would consider opening an Omaha steaks retail
store -- about as weird a notion as the presumably
mythical turducken store. And yet, there really is
a retail Omaha steaks store, and I'm nowhere near
Omaha.

Maybe the oil was old. I had fried turkey for the first time last
weekend. It was served side by side with a roasted turkey and I
couldn't taste the difference.

There is a chain of fried chicken places here called "WifeSaver" and you
can arrange in advance with them to fry your turkey. The first time I
had it was when someone ordered it for us to eat one night at work at it
was AMAZINGLY good! I was flabbergasted. I've since had others prepared
at homes (not my own though) and have never been disappointed. Crispy
fried yet not greasy by any stretch...

LOL! Omaha Steaks has stores all over the U.S. Apparently they do well
enough to keep the stores open.

As for turducken, look for it in the meat dept. of your local supermarkets.
I used to see it as a regular grocery item (where the frozen turkeys are
sold) when I lived in the Houston area.

I've deep fried turkeys and got raves from guests. I thought it
sucked. It's still turkey.

Then why not just roast it? Most of us have ovens. The fryers have
safety issues. If it tastes the same, I would just roast it.

I have no answer. If you find out, report back.

They do?

The only place I've seen Omaha Steaks is at Barbecues Galore.
They come in plain brown, sealed boxes where you can't even see
the steaks.

I'll be strapped over a barrel and screwed up the shoot by a
bunch of midgets before I buy a steak I can't see.

Do these stores actually display fresh meat, or is it all frozen
and/or in boxes?
