Americans Considering a Twist on the Thanksgiving Turkey Tradition

    BETTENDORF, IA, October 17, 2012 /24-7PressRelease/ -- When American families sit down to give thanks each year it's usually over a basic turkey that might be roasted or stuffed with a variety of ingredients with accompanying sauces integrated with family additions that are unique, such as bacon rolls, or cranberry sauce, or even a side of chilies.

Everyone loves it, but at the same time, those cooking the traditional fare are often desperate for a twist on the tradition. The Original Turducken is the twist that will spice up the dinner table this year and consumers everywhere are eagerly anticipating the "wow" factor that will happen when they slice into the popular culinary delight.

A Turducken ( turkey, duck, chicken) is a full deboned turkey ( except for the drumsticks and wings still attached) filled with chicken, duck and one of their two sausage stuffings- classic Spicy Italian and delicious Chicken Apple. The ultimate meal, it will easily feed 15 people and makes for a delicious family feast. For a totally boneless twist they also offer a Premium Turducken Roast that feeds 8 to 10.

Echelon Foods (The Original Turducken Inc) has given the Turducken a uniquely American appeal and is available through resellers like Trudeau Distributing in Minnesota and Deli Direct in Michigan, at retailers like Lund's and Byerly's in the Minneapolis/St Paul market, and available to retailers and foodservice customers across the U.S.

"If you are tired of the same old turkey landing on your dinner table this fall, then it's time to try a Turducken. It provides great value on a cost per sevring basis and is guaranteed to elicit some oohs and ahhs when it's sliced!" says Mike Moser, one of the owners of Echelon Foods (The Original Turducken Inc).
