Favorite Duck/Goose Recipes

[Tyler Rother]

Mine are grilled duck breasts wrapped in bacon with salt and pepper.

As well as frying duck, bacon, onions, potatoes in butter, and then pouring Italian dressing over it and let it simmer for 10 minutes.

How you guys do it up ?

Always looking for something new.

I turn mine into jerky, the only way to get my kids to eat it. 

May want to post this in the recipe/cooking section if you haven't done so already for better feedback.

I have had goose jerky and it was far from tasting like candy; it was given to me.  On the other hand, and I'm new at the duck/goose jerky making, try different flavors and brands.  I cut mine 1/4" thick, marinate/mix with jerky seasoning according to the box and place them on a dehydrator.  I do set it up in the garage cause my wife doesn't care for the smell.

Give it a try and let me know how it goes.  I'll start making some next week in fact and I'll get back to you as well.

Thinking about picking up a dehydrator, what's the amount of time you put the goose jerky in there for Big Red?

[Go Big Red!]

Depends on the thickness of the meat strip and how "dry" you prefer it.  I prefer a dryer jerky, not brittle, so I shoot for 10-12 hours.  Check it once it hits 8 and taste test it.  You may like it at that time yet it really depends upon your taste.  If not let it go longer. 

Strip thickness is 1/4" approx.  The more consistent the thickness in the batch, the more even it will be across the board.

I would think so.  Goose is a very dark, gamey meat in my mind.  Definitely needs to have a lighter flavor if not being dried out.  Make up a batch and we'll have a taste test over beer.

My old boss tried making duck sticks - turned out... not great. Goose might be better tho...
Got plans for early goose... So gotta get cracking on a dehydrator, and marinade recipe.
