When it comes to the holidays there are generally two camps of eaters: traditionalists and freaks adventurers. And now more than ever, people are really thinking outside the roasting pan, coming up with new ways to make their bird stand out from the Butterball crowd. We're not saying we condone all the nut job ideas, but we would have liked to be in the room when Clark cut open the following list of weird things to stuff in a turkey.

1. Turducken: we've all heard of it, but have you actually eaten one? Not only is this bizarre to look at, but stopping to think about it and seeing the weird, Andes Mountains-esque topography of the fillings inside three deboned birds just isn't sitting well....

2. TallBoy Turkey: you may have heard of beer can chicken, that you can roast in the oven, but this concoction takes the concept to a new level. Clearly this isn't fitting in your oven, but have you heard about The Big Easy? Farm to Table? More like 7-Eleven to TV tray.

3. Alligator Dressing: It will never be normal for a larger animal to be stuffed inside a smaller animal. Don't try to confuse us with sauce, rice and Cajun seasonings. You can't actually think this looks or sounds normal. What is that sitting to the right, between the deboned turkey leg and yam, a finger?! I'll pass...

4. The Heavyweight: (I came up with the name myself, thankyouverymuch!) This record holder is a 12-bird roast that takes 10 hours to cook and can feed up to 125 people. The BBC reports, "The £665 creation consists of turkey on the outside, goose, chicken, pheasant, three ducks, poussin, guinea fowl, partridge, pigeon squab and quail."
