William Hallet, a bar/bistro in Astoria, serves a unique turkey sandwich nicknamed as a
"Hallett original." The Turducken Meatloaf starts with meatloaf made from turkey, duck, and chicken (hence the name). Onto an onion roll it goes, along with bourbon ketchup and bacon. Only available at dinner, it comes with a side of fries. The sandwich is rich, satisfying and hearty all at once -- not to mention tasty. So very, very tasty. Plus, it has a fun name!
