Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 4 servings

  • 1 (4 pound) whole duck

  • salt and pepper to taste

  • 1 teaspoon poultry seasoning

  • ½ tablespoon butter

  • 3 tablespoons chopped onion

  • 5 stalks celery, chopped

  • 3 cups peeled, cored and chopped apple

  • 3 cups cornbread crumbs

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Directions

  1. Rinse duck and pat dry; rub with salt, pepper, and poultry seasoning.

  2. Melt butter in a small skillet over medium heat. Saute onion and celery in butter until tender. In a medium bowl, combine with apple and cornbread crumbs. Mix together to make dressing (if necessary, add a little water to moisten).

  3. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

  4. Fill the duck's cavity with dressing, and sew shut with kitchen twine. Rub outside of bird lightly with olive oil, and place in a shallow roasting pan or 9x13 inch baking dish.

  5. Bake in preheated oven for 60 to 80 minutes, or until internal temperature reaches 180 degrees F (80 degrees C.)
