CALGARY, AB, October 03, 2013 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Calgary, AB It seems that no matter how much we think we'll be ready for it, Thanksgiving seems to always creep up on us before we're ready. Amidst the chaos of 'back to school' and then having to start preparations for that perfect Halloween costume, it just gets lost in the shuffle. The result is that preparations for the harvest feast leave us all scrambling. But it might come as a surprise to most that one of the best ways out of that panic is by preparing a turducken.

Echelon Foods—the producers of the Original Turducken and Premium Turducken Roasts—are used to the reactions when they tell people a turducken reduces the stress of Thanksgiving.

"Of course, their initial response is: 'are you out of your mind?' Because obviously preparing a turducken from scratch is a mind-boggling affair. But once they realize that our products are oven-ready, it's a different story," says Mike Moser the co-founder of Echelon. "Holiday gatherings are supposed to be relaxing, but fretting over food prep makes it anything but. So when people find out that preparing our product is actually easier than cooking a turkey, it's difficult to resist."One of the other major benefits of the Turducken lies in the fact that they can, of course, be cooked in a conventional oven, but also on a grill or even in a slow cooker—freeing up valuable oven space for other dishes.

Echelon's turduckens come in two varieties—Italian sausage and bread stuffing and chicken and apple sausage stuffing—that has the chicken, duck, and sausage combined into an entire turkey.For more information about the products and their cooking instructions, visitwww.echelonfoods.com or http://www.theoriginalturducken.com
