Bird in a Bird

We fancy trying something different for Christmas lunch - can anyone tell me where I could get a turkey stuffed with another bird? I cannot remember what this is called!

I think you can get a turkey stuffed with chicken stuffed with pheasant but could be dreaming!
thanks very much. Confused

I knew people who used to start with a peacock...they had too many on their farm! I've not tried it myself, but have boned out chicken, it's not too difficult if you give yourself plenty of time. I stuff with three different stuffings, so when you cut it it looks very attractive with the different colours. Cheeky

I think you are looking for a Turducken (turkey, stuffed with a duck, then chicken). Ot there is Gooducken, as above but Goose in place of Turkey. I'm sure you could get what you want...a Turchicphea? Big Grin I would ask your local butcher or google for a local supplier or mail order. My butcher would do it for me if I gave him plenty of notice.

Or you could do it yourself. You have time to master boning a chicken before December. Hope this helps
