Turducken Instructions

1. Thawing the Turducken – To thaw your turducken, remove it from the box and thaw inside your refrigerator for 48 – 72 hours. It is important that the turducken is completely thawed before cooking.
2. Preheat the Oven – Set the oven to 325 degrees farenheight and let it completely heat up before placing the bird(s) inside.
3. Cooking the Turducken – Remove the turducken from the bag and place it in a roasting pan. Cover the turducken with aluminum foil and bake for 4 hours. Uncover the bird(s) and bake for an additional hour, or until the turducken’s internal temperature reaches 165 degrees.
4. Let the Turducken Sit – Before slicing, it is important to let it sit for 20 – 30 minutes. This allows all those delicious juices to be absorbed into the meats, and not allow them to run out while carving. The end result will be both juicier meat and an easier carving experience.
5. Carve the Turducken – We recommend an electric knife, but a good carving knife works just as well. Cut off the wings and the drumsticks, and then slice the rest of the turducken into slices between ½” and ¾” thick, then slide once down the middle.
