How to Thaw (Refrigerator Only)
- Keep sealed. Place on a rimmed tray to catch drips.
- Allow ~24 hours per 5 lb of roast in the fridge (34–40°F) until completely thawed.
- Once thawed, cook within 48 hours. For detailed timing, use our Storage & Thaw Calculator.
How to Cook (Two Proven Methods)
Target internal temperature: 165°F (74°C) in the very center. Use a fast, accurate thermometer. Rest 20–30 minutes before carving.
1) Classic Oven Roast
- Preheat to 325°F. Place the turducken breast-side up on a rack in a roasting pan.
- Season the exterior, add 1–2 cups stock/water to the pan. Optional: tent loosely with foil for the first half of the cook.
- Approx. 20–25 minutes per lb, but go by temperature—not time. Remove foil in the last 45–60 minutes to brown skin.
- Pull at 165°F in the very center; rest 20–30 minutes before slicing crosswise into rounds.
2) Smoker / Pellet Grill
- Run your pit at 250–275°F. Oak, apple, or cherry smoke works beautifully.
- Smoke until the center hits 165°F. Expect roughly 30–40 minutes per lb, depending on airflow and thickness.
- For extra-crisp skin: finish in a 375–400°F oven for 10–15 minutes.

Carving
Because it’s deboned, carving is simple: slice crosswise into thick, roulade-style rounds so every plate gets turkey, duck, and chicken in each slice.
Serving & Pairing
- Great with rich pan gravy, herb butter, or cranberry chutney.

Pro tip: Use a leave-in probe for the center and spot-check with an instant-read thermometer in a few places to confirm 165°F. Keep skin dry before roasting for best browning.
