Duck

Does anybody have a good reciepe for duck. Everytime we get duck we grill it, but I'm kinda of getting sick of it.

Bryce... Here is one for you. Have you ever had smoked duck?



1 large duck or small wild goose
Salt
1/4 cup thick maple syrup

Salt the duck well inside the cavity, then paint the outside of the bird with the maple syrup. Salt the outside well.
Set the bird in your smoker with a drip pan underneath. Smoke between 200 and 225 degrees over apple wood for 4 hours. Baste the ducks with the maple syrup every hour. When smoked, allow to cool completely, then carve. Serve cool or at room temperature as a cold cut or appetizer, or carve the breast whole and sear in a pan. Slice and serve with lentils.

Thanks, I have never had smoked duck but I eat allot of smoked goose.

I like them fried.

Fillet the breast meat off the bone
season the meat with your favorite seasoning
mix some milk and a couple eggs in a bowl
season some flour in another bowl
put about 1/2 inch of vegetable oil in a skillet, heat up to where water instantly sizzles when you put a drop in
dip the breast in the egg/milk then roll in flour then fry to a crispy brown.

Also works GREAT for wild turkey and deer.

Sounds like a recipe that I will try out for this springs turkeys ! Anything fried is delicious !!

If you all have never fried a wild turkey breast, you are MISSING the boat! Breast them out, lay them out on a cutting board and cut the meat ACROSS the grain into 2 inch nuggets and then follow the recipe above. I like to let mine soak in a bowl of salt water for a day or two in the fridge before I cook them.

I've never tried turkey fried, but have always wanted to. Thanks for the recipe Gary, hopefully I can try it out this spring.

Sounds good!!
