Author: Gravel & Dine
Recipe type: Wild Game
Serves: 8
Ingredients
Duck:
12 duck breasts
2 c water
1 stick butter
2 c apple juice
¼ t cinnamon
Cornbread Apple Dressing:
2 boxes Jiffy corn bread mix, cooked per package directions
4 c apples, peeled and chopped
1 c onion, chopped
1 c celery, chopped
1 t poultry seasoning
2 eggs
1 stick butter, melted
2 cans, cream of chicken soup
2 c milk
Instructions
Place the duck in a large saucepan. Add water and butter. Bring to a simmer and cover for 20 minutes until tender. Remove lid and continue cooking until all the liquid has evaporated. Add apple juice and cinnamon and simmer and additional 15 minutes.
Remove duck and shred or chop into bite sized pieces.
While the duck cooks, prepare the dressing. Cube the cornbread into about ½ inch cubes. Sauté the apples, onion, and celery until tender with a small amount of oil.
Using a large bowl, whisk together the poultry seasoning, egg, butter, cream of chicken soup and milk. Stir in the cooked apple mixture. Gently fold in the cornbread cubes.
Grease a deep, large 9x13 pan (like you would cook a lasagna in). Layer in half of the cornbread stuffing. Spread the duck in an even layer. Top with the remaining cornbread stuffing.
Bake at 375 degrees for about an hour or until the cornbread dressing is set and lightly golden on top.
