The All-Madden Turducken
( 4.7)Gourmet Butcher Block ships its legendary Turducken nationwide on Goldbelly! This is it: the original Turducken, created by owner Glenn Mistich and famously presented to broadcaster John Madden before the Rams-Saints game on Dec. 1, 1996. Madden fell in love, praising it repeatedly during the broadcast and taking the leftovers home with him. Made over the course of two days, it’s a turkey stuffed with a duck then stuffed with a chicken, all meticulously deboned. This official food of the 1997 “All Madden Team” is layered with two layers of sausage stuffing and one layer of cornbread dressing, before being carefully tied up. Weighing in at 17 pounds, this New Orleans classic is seasoned and ready for you to roast.
Louisiana natives have long known about the culinary wonder that is the Turducken, the triple-meat masterpiece, but most Americans discovered turducken when they heard NFL legend John Madden on television pouring out his love for Gourmet Butcher Block’s turducken. Since 1994, Gourmet Butcher Block has been making turduckens: a chicken stuffed inside a duck stuffed inside a turkey. Started by Leah Hebert Mistich and Glenn Mistich, the Cajun specialty meat market in Gretna, Louisiana, also prepares exceptional Cajun specialties like gumbo, shrimp stuffed chicken, and bread pudding.

We ordered the turducken just days before Thanksgiving and received it the Wednesday before with cooking instructions to have it ready in 11 hours to enjoy on the holiday.
The flavor was phenomenal and there was plenty for everyone. It came with a recipe for gravy that was complimentary to the turducken.
We will be ordering this for years to come.

very easy to cook through. i would suggest using a meat thermometer and checking at 3.5 hours. the recommended 4 plus 1 hour to cook was too much with my oven. It was still delicious. Thread came out easy and carving was simple. Made a beautiful presentation on the Christmas table!

Gourmet Butcher is my Go-To meal. I love the stuffed chicken with any of the options. Our family preference is the chicken stuffed with shrimp dressing. I recommend it all the time and always direct family and friends to their website. Love, Love!

I ordered the 4 boneless chickens with varied stuffing. Shockingly perfect. We did not have high hopes considering previous disappointments. People from New Orleans (me) love delicious food to serve without the fuss. So tender/juicy. How do you do this? Thank you.
