Calgary-based Echelon Foods’ new bacon-wrapped turducken roast (turkey-duck-chicken) is a unique, juicy product that combines Echelon’s boneless turducken roast with bacon in an effort to deliver a “wow” taste experience.
"It was much easier to prepare and serve than a traditional turkey. Pre stuffed, and oven ready really cut down on my prep time. I used the slow oven method so I didn't do any basting until I took the aluminum 'tent' off - then I just brushed it with melted butter to brown it a bit more. 'Carving' was simple - again we followed the directions on the website and the presentation was perfect. It was such a success they were all asking if I would do the same Turducken next year!"

I really wanted to go all out so I decided that it was the perfect time to bring the Echelon Foods Turducken out of the freezer. I’ve never planned such a meal before and I found that it really helped to be super organized and to do most of the preparation the day before. The Turducken was pre seasoned and went right from the package into the oven with no fuss at all.
Let's just start out by saying that this is not a sandwich for the fainthearted. It is possibly the most filling sandwich I have ever had and I am including a whole muffaletta from Central Bakery in that claim...
This beast is essentially a large boneless turkey (save for its limbs and wings) stuffed with a de-boned duck and chicken. What Echelon Foods (the brand that produces the turducken we had) makes it over the top is to stuff it with Italian sausage, and arguably give this bird structure.
