Looking for a Different Main Course for the Holidays? Let’s Talk Turducken!

But the execution seemed too complex for me to actually consider making the dish for my family. Echelon Foods has made the meal a great choice for anyone, though, with its Original Turducken: a turkey filled with boneless duck, chicken breast and stuffing that comes ready to roast and serves about 15 people!
