Frying won't solve this downfall of turducken as the oil is still not touching the innner skins/fat.
I totally agree with you, one of the best things about duck is the cracklin from the skins. But gobs of duckfat are never a bad thing! I'll take anyone else's gobs. I think turducken is good, but should probably be sous vide then crisped, just because it's so terribly easy to overcook it.
