Turducken

This Christmas was the debut of "Turducken" at the Wong family Christmas
dinner. Instead of having one big bony bird, turducken is the fusion of
turkey, duck and chicken! The butcher takes the three birds, debones them,
and lays them flat. Next, the flat duck is placed in the turkey, and the
chicken inside the duck. Finally, the whole thing is rolled into a dense
cakelike blob that's held together with a string mesh. End result: An
unusually dense slab of meat. It takes several hours to cook the thing
(three at 325F?) but the end result is three times the variety of meat.
And only *twice* the leftovers!
