wonderfully crispy.

your oven and use your barbecue.
Smoked Turkey

and taste of the smoked turkey.
Turducken

that? Well it is a 15-16 pound de-boned
turkey (except for wing bones and
drumsticks), a fully hand de-boned duck, and
a fully hand de-boned chicken,
all rolled into one and stuffed with lots of
delicious stuffing.
