turducken

Triple bird roast

Turducken is a dish consisting of a deboned chicken stuffed inside a deboned duck, which is then stuffed inside a deboned turkey—three birds nested together and roasted as one.

The name blends turkey, duck, and chicken.

It's associated with elaborate holiday meals and Cajun cooking: We're doing a turducken for Thanksgiving this year.
