A festive combination of turkey, duck, and chicken for the adventurous eater.

Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C). Clean and pat dry the turkey, duck, and chicken. Remove any giblets and excess fat.

Prepare the Birds

In a bowl, mix together salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and dried thyme. Rub this seasoning mixture all over the turkey, duck, and chicken, including inside the cavities.

Seasoning

Begin by stuffing the chicken with your choice of stuffing. Place the stuffed chicken inside the duck and then stuff the duck with more stuffing. Finally, place the stuffed duck inside the turkey.

Stuffing the Birds

Melt the butter and baste the outside of the turkey generously. Place the stuffed turkey in a roasting pan.

Basting

Roast in the preheated oven for about 4 to 5 hours, or until the internal temperature of the turkey reaches 165°F (74°C). Baste the turducken every hour.

Roasting

Once cooked, remove the turducken from the oven and let it rest for at least 30 minutes before carving to allow the juices to redistribute.

Resting

Carve the turducken and serve warm, ensuring each slice includes portions of all three birds.
