Turducken Loaf
Turducken is very popular in the southern states, and also quite expensive and labor intensive to make. So this is my take on it
1 lb of ground turkey
1/2 lb of ground duck (I only had a 1/2 pound on hand, otherwise a 1 lb would be the better choice)
1 lb of ground chicken
1.5 cups of bread crumbs
1 cup of cooked wild rice
3/4 cup of white onion
1/2 cup of minced celery
1/2 cup of minced carrot
1 Tbl of minced garlic
1 egg
1/2 cup of minced porcini mushrooms
3 Tbl of Penzey's Poultry Seasoning
1 Tbl kosher salt
2 Tbl Worcester Sauce
1/2 Tbl Soy Sauce
1/4 cup chicken broth
I mixed each meat individually with some of the egg and poultry seasoning, then spread it out in a pan. I wanted the meats to have their own layer, so I did not mix all the meat together. As you can see, the other half lb of duck would have been nice.
Once spread out next to each other, I spread the rest of the ingredients over the flatten loaf.
Rolled into a loaf...
I smoked it on my mini smoker at 275 for 2 hours for a final temp of 170. The finished meatloaf came out perfect, the turkey and duck was darker than the chicken, but the taste was wonderful.
