The Turducken is a deboned chicken inside a deboned duck, inside a deboned turkey, with stuffing layered between the birds. Chef Raymond Jackson will prepare one on the special Thanksgiving episode.

Turducken is a variation of a dish that has been around since ancient Roman times; it was popularized in America by the late Chef Paul Prudhomme, who trademarked the name in 1986.

Turducken gained national notoriety in 1997 when NFL personality John Madden brought a Turducken onto a 1997 football broadcast during Thanksgiving and started carving it. From there, it went viral.
