Thanksgiving Turducken Puzzle

I decided to both lower the level of seriousness and make up something new late last night.  This Tuducken puzzle is the result.  The goal is to place the letters in the word 'Tuducken' into the cells so that each appears as often as in the word.  Thus, only the U appears twice.  Since a turducken involves three birds, I placed clues in between the cells of each cage if and only if the alphabetic distance was one, two or three.  For example, there would be a clue of two between R and T since their distance in the alphabet is two, but there would be no clue between N and R because their distance is greater than three.  Similarly, there would be no clue between adjacent U's in a cage and no clues between entries of different cages.  Be sure to take advantage of the fact that all possible clues have been placed, so knowing there is no clue between cells in a cage tells you something about their entries as well.
