Turducken is Russianly stackable food
I'm about to eat turducken. That's a bird inside a bird inside a bird. If I didn't know better, I'd assume a dish with this many levels is Russian.
As Russianly stackable as turducken is, I'm guessing it's American. It probably happened like this:
'We're having a turkey for Thanksgiving. What else should we have?'
'Duck.'
'No, that wouldn't work. Our table's not big enough.'
'Put it in the turkey.'
'That's absurd.'
'Not as absurd as the chicken I want to put inside the duck.'
'Okay, funny man, what goes inside the chicken, then?'
'A smaller bird... but what's smaller than a chicken? Hey, how about Marshmallow Peeps?'
'I'd hate you if that didn't sound delicious.'
'Hey, looks like Henry's running out of ideas.'
'Yes. Yes he is.'
(Turducken.)
I've provided a visual aid to help everyone understand what a Turducken is:
Looks appetizing, huh?
If there's any time in your life to think you're a failure, it's while you're searching the internet for the very best picture of a Marshmallow Peep. I went through about 10 pages of Peep-related search pages all the while thinking, "I graduated from college and now I'm doing this?!"

I can't read the title of your picture. I DEMAND THIS WEBSITE BE ACCESSIBLE TO THE COLORBLIND!!!
Oh man, that's too bad, because in the title of that particular MS Paint image I happened to share the MEANING OF LIFE.
...which happens to be "Turducken(peep)." Nobody said the meaning of life wouldn't be a vague riddle.
I made a turducken (well a Tur-Chick-Hen, a more compact version)and was just surfing around blogs looking for photos of others. I do like your Turduckeneep? diagram. It would have come in handy last week when I was trying to explain myself to the butcher.
