Steps:
- Place the duck in a 12-quart stock pot with enough water to cover the duck by 2 to 3 inches. Bring the water to a boil, reduce heat to medium-low, and cook the duck at a simmer until the meat is tender, about 1 hour. Remove the duck from the broth, allow to cool, and pull the meat from the bones in bite-sized pieces. Reserve the broth.
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
- Mix the cornbread crumbs, chopped biscuits, onion, salt, garlic salt, black pepper, and sage in a large roasting pan. Beat the eggs in a bowl; pour over the cornbread mixture. Add the chopped duck meat to the pan; stir to mix the dressing thoroughly. Stir the reserved duck broth into the mixture until the dressing is very moist (about the consistency of thick pancake batter).
- Bake in the preheated oven until a spoon inserted into the center of the pan of dressing will stand up, 45 minutes to 1 hour.

ROAST DUCK WITH APPLES AND PRUNES
Steps:
- Duck is a notoriously fatty bird. To diminish the fat and produce a crispy skin, begin by trimming the excess fat from the body. Rinse the duck thoroughly, inside and out, and pat dry with paper towels. Season the bird inside and out with a generous amount of salt and pepper.
- To prepare the stuffing: Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion, celery, celery seed, prunes, apples, and 4 sage leaves; season with salt and pepper; saute for 10 minutes until soft. Add the bread cubes and toss the mixture together to combine. Put the stuffing in a large mixing bowl and moisten it with a squeeze of lemon and the heavy cream; give it another toss and season with salt and pepper. Spoon the stuffing into the duck cavity. Rip off a foot long piece of aluminum foil and lay it on an insert rack fitted in a roasting pan, let a bit of the foil hang off the end. Lay the duck, breast-side up, on the foil; tuck the wing tips back under the duck, and fold the excess foil over the end of the duck with the stuffing. The foil will protect the stuffing from burning and falling into the delicious duck fat.
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- Roast the duck for 21/2 to 3 hours, rotating the pan every 20 minutes or so. It may seem like a bother, but it's the best way to ensure an even crispy skin. The legs will wiggle easily when the bird is done and an instant-read thermometer will register about 180 degrees F when inserted into the thigh.
- Take the insert rack out of the pan and set the duck on a cutting board to let it rest before carving. Now you have a whole lot of duck fat in the bottom of the roasting pan. Pour out all but a couple of tablespoons of the duck fat into a container and reserve.
- For the gravy: Place the roasting pan, with the couple of tablespoons of duck fat, on the stove over 2 burners set on medium heat. Sprinkle in the flour and stir to make a paste. Crank the heat up to high and add the wine, cook and stir, scraping the bottom of the pan, until the liquid is reduced slightly. Add the chicken stock and remaining 4 sage leaves, season with salt and pepper. Cook and stir for 1 to 2 minutes until the gravy has thickened slightly.

Steps:
- Line bottom of oven with foil to catch any spatters. Preheat oven to 425 degrees with rack in second-lowest position. Rinse duck in cold water; pat dry with paper towels. Trim excess fat and skin from neck and body cavity. Clip wing tips. Place wing tips and neck in a large roasting pan fitted with a rack.
- Prick surface of skin all over with a paring knife. Score skin of breast in a crosshatch pattern. Season inside and outside of duck with pepper and 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon salt.
- Place duck, breast side up, on rack in pan. Roast for 50 minutes.
- Remove pan from oven. Set duck on rack in a sink or over a towel to catch drips. Spoon off excess fat from pan; strain, and reserve 1/4 cup if making roasted vegetables. Tilt duck to drain, pouring juices from cavity into roasting pan. Return duck, breast side down, on rack to pan. Roast for 50 minutes.
- Flip duck, breast side up, and roast until duck registers 165 degrees on an instant-read thermometer, about 50 minutes more. Let stand for 15 minutes before carving. Spoon off fat from roasting pan (reserve if desired). Carefully tilt duck, and pour accumulated juices from cavity into pan. Reserve neck and wing tips in pan with juices if making pan sauce. Serve duck with roasted vegetables, and drizzle with pan sauce.

Steps:
- Unwrap the ducks and allow them to sit at room temperature for 20 minutes. With a fork, prick the skin without piercing the meat. This will allow the fat to drain off while the ducks cook.
- Meanwhile, in a very large stock pot which can hold the 2 ducks, heat the chicken broth with 1 tablespoon of kosher salt until it boils. Add the ducks very carefully and bring the stock back to a boil. If there isn't enough stock to cover the ducks, add the hottest tap water to cover. If the ducks float to the top, place a plate on top to keep them immersed. When the stock comes back to a boil, lower the heat and simmer the ducks in the stock for 45 minutes.
- When the ducks are finished simmering, skim off enough duck fat from the top of the stock to pour a film on the bottom of a 14 by 18 by 3-inch roasting pan. This will keep the ducks from sticking when they roast. Carefully take the ducks out of the stock, holding them over the pot to drain. Place them in the roasting pan, pat the skin dry with paper towels, and sprinkle with 1 teaspoon of salt and the pepper. If you have time, allow the ducks to sit at room temperature for 30 minutes to allow the skin to dry.
- Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 500 degrees F. (Be sure your oven is very clean or it will smoke!) Roast the ducks for 30 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow them to rest, covered with aluminum foil, for 20 minutes. Serve warm.
ROAST DUCK WITH MUSHROOM OYSTER STUFFING
I love roast duck. Unfortunately, I'm the only one in my family that does, until last Thanksgiving. I have a very large family and it was my turn to host Thanksgiving, I can never find a Turkey big enough to feed everyone and always have two different meats. I decided to make duck, thinking I would have one or two takers and the...

Steps:
- 1. Pre-heat oven 300 degrees. Rinse duck in warm water, inside and out, and pat dry. Depending on the size of the duck, the cooking time will vary. If the duck is closer to 3 lbs, you can reduce the cooking time to 3 1/2 hours.
- 2. Add granulated garlic, onion powder, chicken seasoning, sage and thyme to butter and mix.
- 3. Place duck in roasting pan and massage the duck with the seasoned butter. Make sure to rub the butter into the body cavity. This makes it easier to remove and adds more flavor to the stuffing. Set duck aside until ready to stuff.
- 4. In a large pot, medium heat, melt butter and add celery, onion, salt and pepper and cook for 2-3 minutes. Add mushrooms and cook 2 minutes.
- 5. Add chopped oysters and reserved juice, cook 1-2 minutes, just enough to heat them through, add chicken stock, stir to combine and remove from heat. Add stuffing mix, gently toss to combine all ingredients, making sure all liquid is absorbed into the stuffing and let it set for about 5 minutes. If the bread cubes are dry, add more stock.
- 6. When stuffing has cooled enough to handle, fill body cavity with stuffing. Add a little stock to the bottom of the roasting pan, up to 1/2 cup. Cover and bake for 4- 4 1/2 hours. You can check it occasionally to make sure all is well, but you don't need to baste or fuss with the duck. Remove from oven, let rest for about 5 minutes before carving.
ROASTED DUCK WITH DRESSING
This is a winner - my recipe allows you to prove that Duck is not Greasy. I love it around the holidays and just fixed it for my birthday dinner instead of going out because I love it. I have won over new people to duck with this recipe because it delivers on flavor and is juicy, but never greasy.

Steps:
- 1. Night before - Thaw Duck if Frozen and break up the bread and place it in a mixing bowl to dry, add the onion, celery, sage, salt and pepper to the bread.
- 2. Preheat Oven to 375 degrees. Clean Duck and remove giblets then place in a large stock pan with enough water to cover and broil until you see a fair amount of the fat and oils come to the top of the water, skim off and remove duck from the water and place in a large roasting pan.
- 3. Wet the dressing with just enough chicken broth to make barely moist. The dressing will get additional moisture from the duck and if you make it too wet, it will be soggy. Stuff the duck with the dressing and place any extra around the outside of the duck.
- 4. Place the cover on the roasting pan and place duck in the oven at 375 degrees for about 2 and a half hours for a 6 pound duck. You can tell when the duck is ready because it should fall off the bone easily and be tender and juicy, but definitely not greasy. Serve and Enjoy!
