How to Cook a Tur-Duc-Hen:
Take the Tur-Duc-Hen completely out of the packaging and place it in a pan. You may line the pan with aluminum foil. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Then cook the Tur-Duc-Hen for four and one half hours covered with legs pointing up and one hour uncovered or until browned. Internal temperature for a cooked Tur-Duc-Hen should be 160-180 degrees! Remove woven threading before serving.
If your Tur-Duc-Hen is frozen, allow it to thaw 3 days in the refrigerator (or 6 hours on counter). DO NOT THAW IN WATER!! If partially frozen cook for 5 hours or to an internal temperature of 165. Internal temperature for a cooked Tur-Duc-Hen should be 160-180 degrees! Remove woven threading before serving.

Testimonial By Jim Hensi
Packed 1 bird per box. We cooked one up the other day and it is really a very nice product. It was the center of attention in the last food show that we did on the Islands. We only cooked one and that was a mistake. Everyone was coming over to try it and was gone by the first hour and a half. And that was just a very small show and only giving out little samples. People were placing orders on the spot for it.

It is a great show piece and the box it comes in really sells the sizzle. Each bird feeds about 15 people, or so it says on the box. I belive it would maybe even more. Only has two legs and two wings. Not like other Madden birds with 6 legs.

And by the way...The largest recorded nested bird roast is 17 birds, attributed to a royal feast in France in the early 19th century (originally called a Rôti Sans Pareil, or "Roast without equal") - a bustard stuffed with a turkey, a goose, a pheasant, a chicken, a duck, a guinea fowl, a teal, a woodcock, a partridge, a plover, a lapwing, a quail, a thrush, a lark, an Ortolan Bunting and a Garden Warbler. The final bird is small enough that it can be stuffed with a single olive; it also suggests that, unlike modern multi-bird roasts, there was no stuffing or other packing placed in between the birds. This dish probably could not be legally recreated in the modern era as many of the listed birds are now protected species.
