Updated on August 18, 2014

Come "meat" me in the kitchen.

The 12 Meats of Christmas ... ever heard of it?

In some parts of the world Christmas begins with Advent preceding the holiday, while many celebrate the 12 Days of Christmas following the big event. If you think about it, that's 24 days of Christmas celebration and a whole lot of food that needs to be prepared.

For those who wish to extend the festivities, these 12 Meats of Christmas have come at the right time.

Look for over 70 recipes for your favorite roasts like chicken, pork, duck, lamb, pheasant, beef, salmon, turkey and the famous Christmas goose or roast turduckin.

Roast Turducken Recipes

When my husband first saw this it was a bit different. Inside the turkey was the duck, inside the duck was a chicken, inside the chicken was a quail and inside the quail was a raw egg in the shell.

No stuffing in these birds. There wasn't room, and it didn't get cut in half to do this process. All the birds were whole (well you know what I mean). These recipes are different and each have several kinds of stuffing. Take a look.
