All deboned &amp; full of stuffing. I baked it for about 17 hours (initially at 190F, then later at 350F) and fed eight people. We finished about a third of the bird. This turducken was far better than the one we had tried for Christmas dinner a few years ago &#8212; that one was a log of meat, supposedly a turkey on the outside, but it had been deboned\/processed enough that it didn&#8217;t resemble much. Also, it cooked up into a dry log, unlike this one. I suspect leaving the skin on the duck and the chicken based the turducken from the inside.<\/p>\n<p>I won&#8217;t get another one for a long time &#8212; but as far as novelty items and large protein sources go, this one was pretty awesome.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; My brother has nagged me to get a Turducken for Christmas dinner for a couple years&#8230; I think mostly because he thinks it would be funny, not so much because he wants to eat one.
