Turducken (turkey + duck + chicken) has Roman roots, but in America can be traced to a specialty meat shop called Hebert's in Maurice, Louisiana. They have been producing turduckens commercially since 1985. The story goes that a local farmer brought his own birds and asked Hebert to prepare them that way. During the day of Thanksgiving, the company prepares around 5,000 turduckens per week for an insatiable public.
