Where did turducken come from?

Turducken, a culinary dish consisting of a deboned turkey stuffed with a deboned duck, which is then stuffed with a deboned chicken, is believed to have originated in the United States in the 1980s. The concept of stuffing one bird inside another has a long history, but the modern version gained popularity through Cajun cuisine, particularly in Louisiana. Chef Paul Prudhomme is often credited with popularizing turducken in his restaurants and cookbooks. The dish has since become a favorite for festive occasions, especially during Thanksgiving.
