When it comes to preparing a Thanksgiving turkey, the focus these days seems to be on what ridiculous things you can stuff inside. And the Turducken, which sees the bird stuffed with a duck-stuffed chicken, might have met its match with the Turtwinkie.
Stuffing a turkey with cream-filled cakes might sound a little disgusting, but when it’s all said and done apparently you can’t even taste them. The Twinkie’s cream filling is actually removed first, and used as a turkey glaze which caramelizes in the oven. And the golden cake is broken up and mixed with bread crumbs and other savory ingredients to create a traditional stuffing. It’s apparently a great way to get fussy kids to enjoy turkey, and is yet more proof that the Twinkie needs to be recognized as its own separate food group. [YouTube via Foodbeast]
