     No, but when I got interested in Turducken, I came across a recipe for an Osturducken. Take an ostrich, stuff it with a turducken.

     This year I decided that I wanted to share with all the SLUG readers one of my absolute favorite Thanksgiving recipes: the mighty osturducken! The osturducken is a sister dinner to the more traditional turducken, but it's ten thousand times more delicious. To create an osturducken you will need a de-boned ostrich, stuffed with a de-boned turkey, stuffed with a de-boned duck, stuffed with a de-boned chicken that is stuffed with your favorite stuffing. […] Place the osturducken in the oven at 225° and bake for 8 hours or until the meat thermometer reaches 165°.
