Cajun Turducken Assembly in Atlanta Meat Market – Part 3 of 4 – Putting it Together

Posted by admin

Cajun Turduckens are a house specialty at the Douglasville Retail Meat and Smokehouse, just outside Atlanta. Turduckens consist of a mostly boneless turkey, stuffed with a boneless chicken and often duck breast (since whole ducks are usually too long for a standard sized turkey) with some variety stuffing between the meat layers.

In this third video in our four part series, owner David Widaski assembles a Turducken with Cajun crawfish cornbread stuffing for a satisfied client. The turduckens made at the Smokehouse are always fresh, as they take as much as 24 hours to thaw if you get a frozen one, which can be a hassle for clients.

The other advantage of having your Turducken made at the Smokehouse is that you choose the amount of spice and heat you want. Simple herb stuffings are available for a lighter palate.

If you have never tried a Turducken, give the Smokehouse a call at 770-577-2374 to start a new tradition in your home. If you love Cajun Food, it doesn’t get much better than this. Turduckens can be special ordered all year long (thought most are sold for Thanksgiving and Christmas), but do require a 2-day lead time in most cases.

Visit www.MyGourmetSteaks.com for more details on the store. Watch part 4 on www.youtube.com/atlantabutcher for heating instructions.

Know anything about Cajun food?? Can you give me any tips on…?

Posted by admin

make bourbon chicken? I think that’s what it was called. I ate at a Cajun restarurant in Indianapolis this weekend, and had this dish. It was INCREDIBLE. It was a huge bowl, and it was just chicken (with whatever amazing Cajun sauce it has…) with a whole bunch of rice.

Anyone ever had this? How do I make Cajun dishes like that?

Thanks!!!
