This is a quick, simple, and excellent technique to get the kids to eat their vegetables.

Prep Time: 30 mins
Cook Time: 1 hr 45 mins
Total Time: 2 hrs 15 mins
Servings: 8

Ingredients

  1. 1 (4 pound) whole duck
  2. 10 cups water, or more as needed
  3. 1 (9×9 inch) pan prepared cornbread, crumbled
  4. 4 prepared biscuits, chopped
  5. 1 large onion, chopped
  6. 1 teaspoon dried sage
  7. 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
  8. ½ teaspoon garlic salt
  9. ½ teaspoon salt
  10. 8 large eggs

Instructions

  1. Place duck in a 12-quart stockpot with enough water to cover by 2 to 3 inches. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer until meat is tender, about 1 hour. Remove duck from broth, allow to cool, and pull meat from the bones into bite-sized pieces. Reserve broth.
  2. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  3. Mix together cornbread, biscuits, onion, sage, pepper, garlic salt, and salt in a large roasting pan. Beat eggs in a bowl; pour over cornbread mixture. Add duck pieces to the pan; mix thoroughly. Stir in reserved duck broth until dressing is very moist (about the consistency of thick pancake batter).
  4. Bake in the preheated oven until a spoon inserted into the center of dressing can stand up, 45 minutes to 1 hour.

From recipe submitter: although this recipe includes sage, and it can certainly be used if you like sage dressing, the original recipe should not include sage. The key to this recipe is making sure you add enough liquid to the dry ingredients.
