Roasted Duck with Apple-Raisin Dressing image

As a boy growing up on the farm, my husband had "duck every Sunday". I tried to maintain that tradition after we married-more than 50 years ago now! Edgar is a retired dairy farmer. We are the parents of four grown children.

Yield 4 servings.

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 domestic duck (4 to 5 pounds each)
Salt
DRESSING:
1 tube (12 ounces) bulk pork sausage
1/2 cup chopped onion
1/2 cup chopped celery
1 cup chopped peeled apple
1 cup golden raisins
1/2 cup water
1-1/2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon rubbed sage
1/4 teaspoon pepper
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
8 cups cubed crustless day-old white bread
3 large eggs, lightly beaten
1/2 cup chicken broth

Steps:

  • Sprinkle the inside of ducklings with salt; prick skin well all over and set aside. In a large skillet, cook sausage with onion and celery until sausage is no longer ink and vegetables are tender. Add apple and simmer for 3 minutes, stirring occasionally; drain. Meanwhile, simmer raisins in water for 8 minutes; do not drain. In a large bowl, combine sausage mixture, raisins, salt, sage, pepper and parsley; mix well. Add the bread cubes, eggs and broth; mix lightly. Divide and spoon into ducklings. Place with breast side up on a rack in a large shallow roasting pan. Bake, uncovered, at 375° for 1-3/4 to 1-1/4 hours or until the thermometer reads 185°. Drain fat from pan as it accumulates. Remove all dressing.

This was a bit too gamey for my taste, but I think that's just personal preference.

The roasted duck was delicious, but the dressing was a bit too sweet for my taste. I would recommend reducing the amount of sugar in the dressing.

Just made this dish last night. Followed the recipe exactly and it turned out amazing! The duck was moist and tender, and the dressing was flavorful and packed with apples and raisins. Will definitely be making this again.
