To Serve

Turducken – To Cook From Thawed (Preferred)

• To thaw, take the Turducken out of the box but leave it in its bag. It will take four to five days to completely defrost in your refrigerator, so plan ahead!
• Preheat the oven to 375° F.
• Place Turducken into a roasting pan with the thread facing up, cover with foil, and bake for 4 hours.
• Uncover and bake for 1 hour until golden brown; it’s safe to eat once all layers of poultry and stuffing reach 165° F.
• Once cooked, let the Turducken cool for at least 20 minutes. Remove the thread, and then remove the leg tendons by pushing a fork into the end of each leg and twisting slightly. Cut the entire Turducken crosswise through the middle to reveal all the layers before slicing and serving!

Turducken – To Cook From Frozen

• Preheat oven to 300° F.
• Place Turducken into a roasting pan with the thread facing up and add two cups of water to the pan. Cover with foil and bake for 11 hours and 30 minutes.
• Uncover and bake for an additional half hour until golden brown; it’s safe to eat once all layers of poultry and stuffing reach 165 F.
• Once cooked, let the Turducken cool for at least 20 minutes. Remove the thread, and then remove the leg tendons by pushing a fork into the end of each leg and twisting slightly. Cut the entire Turducken crosswise through the middle to reveal all the layers before slicing and serving!

King Cake
This king cake isn’t just a dessert – enjoy it any time of day as breakfast, a snack, or coffee cake!

• Remove the king cake and frosting from the refrigerator and leave them at room temperature for 3 hours prior to serving.
• Give the icing a stir and spread it evenly across top of the cake.
• Sprinkle the colored sugars in stripes across top of the cake. Be sure to do this quickly, before the icing sets. 
• That’s it! Now slice the cake and see who finds the baby!

Beignet Mix
