1) (n) An American Thanksgiving holiday culinary grotesque: Consists of a chicken, stuffed into a duck, progressively stuffed into a turkey and baked. Provides hours of entertainment in the form of waiting for the sucker to finish cooking and enough sandwich meat to last through The Apocalypse.

2) (n) Any obese human that will set upon a buffet like a plague of locusts, stripping said buffet of all edible material, leaving only the garnish, the decorative toothpicks, and the sweaty cheese cubes from earlier in the day.

3) (n) Any plan that is unnecessarily complicated or futile. Used as a simile.
> 1) "Time for the Cowboys/Redskins game, is the turducken done yet?"

> 3) Jeff: "I'll be swapping out this small-block, V8 for an straight six."
> Dale: "Baking up a turducken are we?"
> Jeff: "What?"
> Dale: "Sounds like fun."
