Here we go, first pic boneless turkey breast has already been pounded thin, seasoned with Jan's Dry Rub and a thin layer of jambalaya applied and boneless pounded duck breasts laid on top.

Next, duck breast fillets seasoned with the rub, jambalaya applied and boneless skinless pounded chicken breasts laid on top and seasoned with more rub

Intentionally left the small amount of fat on the chicken in hopes it will aid in keeping things moist. Final thin layer of jambalaya on the chicken breasts. Now the hardest part, rolled up after much difficulty as the turkey stuck terribly to the wax paper. (Note to self, next time spray the wax paper!) Once rolled seasoned with the rub and wrapped in bacon.

Peppered the bacon and tied, ready to go into the smoker at 230 for 3hours of hickory/apple smoke and cook until IT reaches 160.

Will post final results on this thread. I must confess had my wife Jan not been there to really help me plus calm me down a couple of times, this would not have gone nearly as well.

Nice to give credit where credit is due. :)
Maybe you could have made the bacon into a basket weave and layed it down first? Just a thought.
Can't wait to see the final product.

Very nice picks KyNola.
Let us know how it turns out with the 230 deg temp. I would have been tempted to go to max temp with poultry and bacon.
Pens,
While I was trying to roll that thing, I actually had that same thought.
Thanks for the suggestion Giz, I think I'll go bump up the temp! Thanks!

Looking good, KY! Anxious to see the finished product. It sure is nice to have a calming influence around when we need it, huh? ;D
KY,

Took a little over 4 hours total. Learned a couple of things. Next time would probably use a cornbread type stuffing as it would be more of a paste type filling(just like you thought SD)and not as crumbly. The rolls are not as "pinwheeled" as I would have preferred but the taste is really good.
SD, hope you had a great day with your family!

Looks great KyNola! ;)
Thanks for sharing! 8)

WOWSERS

Holy Kynoly! Awesome!

!!!!!
that looks great!
Looks great, Ky! Thanks for the pictures, THIS TIME!!! ;)
KY,
WELL DONE, my friend! That looks awesome........better to have rolled a turducken and not be perfect than to have never rolled a turducken! ;D I commend you for your ingenuity! Remember, when the food is all eaten, it all looks the same ;D
Again, great job, KY (and tell Jan good job for helping you keep your turducken composure ;D)
SD
Thanks everyone.
Have some ideas on how to improve this but for the first try, I'm OK with the results. The taste is really good, just a bit cumbersome to eat. I am about to find out about thick slicing it and slapping it between 2 slices of bread for a sammich! Come to think of it, I have some Bradley smoked white cheddar cheese that could go on top of that sammich before going on the panini toaster.
Dang, I love Sundays!
Thanks for all of your encouragement and kind words.

Ky...mother of Marge....looks really great....well done for giving it a whirl....I'd be scared to death to try it!!! (I might now tho!!!) I've only had "purchsed" turducken....Good for you... :)
Thanks LQ,
I'm just off kelter enough to try something like this. I will take another run at this with a couple of different twists on it. Different stuffing, a bit more spicy seasoning, etc.
Forget to mention, you can most likely feed 8-12 people or so. Weighed just north of 8 pounds!

KyNola,
Thanks for sharing! It looks mighty tasty and gives me some ideas for coming up with something out of the ordinary. Especially when it would be smoked cooked!
I thought I could actually smell it, but in fact it's the poultry I am smoking right now. ;D
That looks awesome KyNola!! 8)
