en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turducken
In the middle of the last century, New Orleans surgeon and urologist Gerald LaNasa was known for his use of a scalpel in de-boning his three birds of choice also known as turduckhen. His efforts in preserving a Louisiana culinary tradition were noticed by emerging local chefs in New Orleans.
Maurice, Louisiana, and "Hebert's Specialty Meats", which has been commercially producing turduckens since 1985, when a local farmer whose name is unknown, brought in his own birds and asked Hebert's to prepare them in the now-familiar style.
Turduckens can be prepared at home by anybody willing to learn how to remove the bones from poultry, instructions for which can be found on the Internet or in various cookbooks.
The final bird is small enough that it can be stuffed with a single olive; it also suggests that, unlike modern multi-bird roasts, there was no stuffing or other packing placed in between the birds. This dish probably could not be recreated in the modern era as many of the listed birds are now protected species.
The Dead Zone (TV series) in the episode titled "A Very Dead Zone Christmas", Johnny takes out a turducken for Christmas dinner and Bruce calls it "Colonel Sanders meets Frankenstein" thing. The turducken is also mentioned on The Wendy Williams Experience during the Thanksgiving season. Wendy usually mentions it along with her restaurant/catering service of choice;
NBC Sunday Night Football, often references the turducken around Thanksgiving time as it is his favorite dish over the regular traditional turkey. While working for Fox in the mid to late 1990's, Madden would show his own turducken on TV during the Thanksgiving football games. In other media the turducken is mentioned such as Taylor Antrim's novel, The Headmaster Ritual (2007), one of the protagonists, James, and his mother order a turducken for Thanksgiving dinner.
