Thaddeus Smith Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 Planning my Christmas meal and it dawned on me that I still have all three birds walking around waiting to be butchered: a decent sized turkey, some modest ducks, and small meat chickens. Can't say I've ever deboned a bird, but it's not too far beyond what I've already done. Looking for pointers or tips to make the dish really shine, I guess.

moray james Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 would like to but never used a duck but did use Rock Cornish Hens and stuffed them with pork/bread stuffing to help keep thing more on the fat/juicy side as a duck would (much more fat on a duck than a turkey). That was a long time ago but it was very good. A very happy Christmas to all the good folk here and all across the country to those who partake. A happy Hanukkah as well to our Jewish brothers. Tis the season. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimjimbo Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 Yea, kill them first. They get really pissed off when you start trying to stuff them into another fowl's body cavity.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There used to be a cajun butcher shop locally that made them with either boudain or etouffe dressing. They were incredible. Very rich but very very good.

JJkizak Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 We had a small restaurant years ago run by a German couple who made crispy roast duck with mashed potatoes and gravy and onions which was spectacular. They also made a liver and onions dish where the liver was 3/4" thick and soft with mashed potatoes and mushrooms and onions with gravy that if I ate it today I would die a very pleasant cholesterol death.

oldtimer Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 I watched Emiril Lagasse make one on TV once. You might look up the recipe and/or video. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thaddeus Smith Posted December 11, 2018 Author Share Posted December 11, 2018 Yeah, probably gonna skip it. The whole point was to use my own birds and Morgan has decided suddenly that the last surviving turkey is off limits. So whatever... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
