Smoke a Flock?

FM Former Member
Back in the 1st half of the 80's in my USAF days, I was stationed in Ga. with a feller from Alabama. He always talked about some cajuns he new firing up their turkey friers and taking a turkey/ stuff it with a goose, and stuff the goose with a chicken, and stuff the chicken with a pheasant (always wondered where a cajun got a pheasant, but oh well...).
Anyway, they would season each bird with a different rub.
The whole "fock" would be dropped and it was supposed to be absolutely out of this world.
Have any of you heard of this and has anyone tried smoking 4 birds in this manner?
I would imagine that betwen cheese cloth on the outside and a greasey goose on the inside that the meat would not dry out.

First off. Ya gotta bone each bird (well maybe on the turkey you can leave the drums and the wings with the bones)

The Turkey has got to be huge. (like 20+ pounds).
Then when it's all stuffed you treat it like a singular piece of meat. a really big piece of meat and FRY it up (If ya got that big a pot) just like you'd fry up a normal turkey.

I don't think it would work in a smoker. I could be done in an oven but then you'd lose the smoke. Unless you put a heavy, heavy smoke in it first then finish it off in the oven, like a normal turkey bird.

Turducken (Turkey Duck Chicken)

Yes, the Food Science Scientists tell us about all sorts of dangers trying to do it Low and Slow. Because it's such a dense piece of food with all of that stuffed inside, the problem is that the inner birds stay below 140 too long.

I looked at the Food Safety Site and didn't find any specific warning, but they probably don't call it Turducken.

Geiyser, one AF to the other, here are a couple of sites. Do a Google Search on Turducken and you'll get lots of info.

Chef Prudhomme's Turducken

I found some interesting reading, isn't the Internet fun for random searches. Found the oriental woman who won a Turducken eating contest and Turducken productions in New Orleans...

Thanks for the input folks! As always it opens the eyes to unthought of questions. Thats why i ask!
Smokin' I'll check those sites out.

T-Rex, we made a turkey fryer out of a full size keg so the terradactyl that wont fit in that baby will be pretty scarey! That was the funnest piece of cooking equipment I ever helped make. It took a half hour to clean it........after it took 20 minutes to saw the top off of it off........after it took 5 of us all night to empty it! Arent wedding left overs grand!
