the duck is stuffed with brandied cherries, apricots, oranges, pistachios and cashews, then stuffed INSIDE the chicken. 

the chicken is stuffed with andouille sausage, jalepeno peppers, tomato, lobster, okra, then stuffed INSIDE the turkey.

and the turkey is stuffed with cornbread, havarti cheese, serrano peppers, italian sausage (and a chicken and a duck!)
