There doesn't seem to be a great deal of recipes in the other section for waterfowl.

So what are your recipes?

For teal breast, I like what RGC did. It is simple and quick.

Soak teal breast in your choice of marinade.
Wrap teal breast around boudin.
Cook over BBQ pit.

I was in deer camp all weekend and I cooked about 30 ducks to feed my hunters.


My favorite were chicken fried duck nuggets. Cut the breast into strips, dip in milk, dip in flour.

I mix cayenne pepper and jalepeno salt into my flour.

cook in hot oil in a cast iron skillet. Good stuff.

I also cooked up a pot of gumbo this weekend, it was gooooood also.



Then I also did the old standby, jalepeno, cream cheese, and bacon cooked on the smoker.

We like making duck wraps. Pound breast half thin, tblsp cream cheese on top, drizzle Italian dressing over all, add slice of fruit or vege of choice, roll meat over cheese and vege, wrap with bacon strip, pour more Italian on top. Refrg for 12-24hr and grill till just cooked - med rare and bacon done.

before I do anything, I like to bleed out the breast before I cook. I'll soak in a glass bowl with water for about 1 1/2 days changing the water often(when I open the fridge) this seems to work with whatever I choose to do. chicken fried, wraps, gumbo, etc.

I like marinating them overnight and grilling them over an open fire. Then laying it over some jumbalaya or diry rice.

Some times, some may argue, but wilder tasting divers (again, my opinion)I like to cube it up and fry in olive oil and garlic. Then mix it in with ground beef and spaghetti sauce. Now you have spaghetti and duck meat balls.

I never take the time to pluck a duck, I simply just breast them out, therefore, many ways you cook them will leave them very dry. The above two ways are the least dry tasting way I have found to cook them.

Gonna try it in gumbo though!

if you dunk them in a pot of boiling water for 2sec the feathers come off real easy and in big clumps. wear gloves unless you have tough hands.

i like to wrap the breast around breakfast sausage and a good hot onion ring/slice.

im gonna try wraping the sausage/breast/onion in cabbage leafs....its an old trick i learned in boy scouts. it keeps the moisture in!

my buddy is a coonazz and he says there aint anything you cant eat with enough garlic on it!

I make chili or stew (maybe even gumbo) with 90% of the ducks I kill. It's a great way to cook 'em and you can clean out a freezer full! I cut the breasts into small cubes and marinade them with olive oil and Montreal steak seasoning- then get a decent beef broth, throw in veggies and red potatoes and put them all in the crock pot. Brown the duck cubes and then add them into the stew cooking for a few hours.



Wasn't born in Texas, but I got there as fast as I could.

Puddlers, either do the ever-popular bacon wraps
or brine and marinate. Then butterfly the breast and chicken fry. Make some white gravy. Then some mashed potatoes. Then get some corn, cream cheese, and pickled jalapeno slices, dice the jalps and mix all that together. One of my fav meals.

Divers, Gumbo or jerky.

Shoot duck
Pick feathers off of breast
Leave skin on
fillet starting from the outside, come up over the breast bone but under the skin and down the other side.
end result is two fillets of meat held together by skin. Season with Montreal Steak seasoning. put on some onion. fold over where the skin is on the outside. poke with toothpick to hold it closed. cook to med rare and thank me later.

Cut 6 duck breasts into cubes a little bigger than sugar cubes. Marinade in Allegro Game Tame for 1/2 hour. While cubes are marinading, fry about 5 or 6 slices of bacon in stew pot. Remove bacon and drain on paper towel.

In bacon grease, brown duck cubes and 2 links of sliced deer sausage or your favorite store bought on medium high heat. Brown cubes to medium rare.

Add 1 cup onion, 1/2 cup celery and 1/2 cup bell pepper. Add 2 cloves minced garlic. Cook over medium heat until onions are clear.

Add 1 can Rotel Diced Tomatoes w/ green chile, drained.

Crumble bacon and add to pot.

Add 1 cup white rice, 1 cup brown rice and 4 cups of water.

Add 1 Tbls Tony's Chachere or your favorite Creole seasoning.

Add a handful of chopped green onion tops.

Bring to a full boil.

Put lid on stew pot, lower heat, and simmer for 20 minutes.

Serve with cornbread and COLD BEER. cheers

Stuff duck with onion and sliced apple. Bake for 1 hour. This should give you enough time to get to the store and buy a couple of t-bones. Discard ducks and put steaks on the grill.

I had a guy once that battered the duck in coffee grounds (not kidding)! He marinated them for 1 day prior in a liquid concoction marinade and before he put them on the fire he put them in the coffee grounds. There was 3 of us eating it and he wouldn't tell us what he did, but everyone thought it tasted pretty damn good. Then he told us and we couldn't believe it. Sounds crazy, but good!



Best Regards and Good Hunting
