Pro: My mom and dad liked the turducken and said it was particularly aromatic and the turkey meat was quite flavorful. The cooking juice was very tasty as a broth (Smithsfield ham and bamboo shoots).
Con: My parents overcooked the turducken because they didn't trust the cook-in thermometer I specifically bought for the purpose, then they dissembled the turducken in a manner that rendered it fairly inedible as leftover.
The turducken was promising enough that I'm going to send one to my boyfriends' parents for Christmas - I really need to supervise the cooking.
Main lesson: don't mailorder food to my parents and then expect them to follow any of my instructions. In retrospect, I guess I was asking for trouble.
Bonus leftover cleanup idea: instead of tortillas, try wrapping Thanksgiving leftover with warm sushi rice and seaweed wrappers.

Excellent!
I skipped Thanksgiving. I am looking forward to Christmas.
