The "Turducken" thread [merged]
I'm interested in trying one of these and thought it would be fun to plan a mileage run to go to a store, buy a pre-assembled turducken, and bring it back with me to cook and serve at a later date. A Google search suggests Hebert's Specialty Meats might be a good place to start; they have locations in Houston, Tulsa, and some other locations a little farther from airports. Does anyone have any suggestions of a location that's airport-close?
Thanks.
Thanks.

Of course it all depends on what you mean by close. Here's a place that's about 30 minutes from IAH by car. Their turduckens are pretty good and you can order them online if you wish.

Thanks for the replies; I'm always looking for an excuse to go somewhere, so a trip to Texas or Louisiana sounds like fun.

... but I'd like an idea how a "real" one is supposed to taste before I go too far off the reservation.

I got mine from cajunspecialtymeats.com. Ordered from them twice and really happy with the results. Very tasty! If you order, try out some of their stuffed chicken too, especially the broccoli & rice stuffing one.

Tip Top Meats in Carlsbad, CA
Fly directly into CLD via UAX. A few miles down the road is Tip Top and also Legoland and the ocean.

I'm actually working myself up to this: http://bacontoday.com/turbaconducken...pped-in-bacon/

I thought turkeys done in this way were primarily for Thanksgiving; have they become a 'big event' meal option across the USA?
Keeping the theme tropical, I wonder if there is a seafood equivalent?
This thread is making me hungry.
(I have only just finished a turkey-free lunch!)
