The All-Madden Turducken
96%Read ReviewsFull Prep
Freezer Friendly
The original turducken, the one John Madden fell in love with on live TV. A turkey is stuffed with a duck, then a chicken, all meticulously deboned over two days and layered with two layers of sausage stuffing and one of cornbread dressing. Glenn Mistich of Gourmet Butcher Block in New Orleans presented it to Madden before a 1996 Rams-Saints game, and it became the official food of the All-Madden Team. Perfect for a Thanksgiving centerpiece with a story, a big Christmas dinner, or the football fan who wants the real thing. Three birds, one legend.
