Original Recipe Yield 4 servings
 

Ingredients

  • 1 (4 pound) whole duck
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 teaspoon poultry seasoning
  • 1/2 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.)
