Bet you all thought that I was going to FINALLY post about the wedding with wedding pictures... I do promise that is coming but in the meantime, here are some crazy photos from our first Thanksgiving (Canadian) as a new family. We decided our motto was: Go big or go home. Consequently, we decided that a Turducken would qualify...(For those of you who are not familiar with the concept of the Turducken, it is a Turkey stuffed with a Duck which is in turn stuffed with a chicken - but as you'll see, we didn't stop there...)
Thanks to my good friend Shan who gave me the idea in the first place!! (And, quite rightly, called it the "most epically ridiculous recipe you will ever make"!)
The beginning phase: de-boning the chicken (and the duck)
With our good friends Lisa and Hubert, approaching the end of the deboning phase (turkey)
Putting it all together: Turkey, then stuffing (mom's recipe) then the duck
Then the essential bacon weave!!!
A Special view of the Bacon weave (Kyle's masterpiece contribution)
Close to the end, you can see the chicken and then the spicy sausage stuffing (final layers)
Lisa, very intently sewing up the Turducken
Finally, trussed and ready to go in the oven!!
And there it is, all ready for eating!!
Beautiful!
The aftermath...

Kyle must be having a strong influence in that kitchen, look at all that meat! And a bacon weave! Wow. If this becomes a tradition of yours, we might be headed your way next October.
A bacon, sausage turducken? Awesome!
I can't believe Kyle has you cooking, let alone eating bacon. Way to go, Kyle!!
Fantastic. What's next - The Bacon explosion. Look it up.
I don't know what is more shocking... The Turducken or that you posted on your blog!
Why didn't you slip a little shrimp inside?
