Does anyone have a good and easy duck recipe? My son would like it for Thanksgiving; as only he and my husband eat it, I am thinking I will just try to find a duck breast and cook that, although I am open to suggestions. I have never cooked duck before...Any recipes and tips would be appreciated! TIA

I haven't cooked a duck in years.........the first one turned out to be a 'rubber ducky' !! LOL Cooked it too hot or too long - can't recall. Did my homework before cooking the second one. -
A duck is a fatty bird so expect grease - perhaps lots of it. I'd say cook slow and low but it's been years - so if I were you - I'd Google for duck recipes instead of asking here on the Q. I always go to ""G"" for ideas and cooking methods.
Good Luck

Yesterday I saw a show that stuffed a duck into a turkey & roasted them both. I have had roast duck before & it's very good. Richer than turkey or chicken & sort of ""oily"". We used to have pet ducks & use the eggs for baking (not eating).

Thanks for your responses. I have been looking at duck recipes on line but am a little overwhelmed, so I was looking to see if anyone had a tried-and-true recipe.
Straitgirl, I have also seen people on TV cook "turducken"--which is a chicken inside a duck inside a turkey, or something like that. I think I'll pass on that recipe!

I have never ate or cooked duck so I'm not help. Maybe this site will help. http://www.britishfoodinamerica.com/Our-Recipes/Duck-Goose-Recipes/#.VGkIAxR0zo1

I cook duck on New Years every year. It's very fatty and after all the fat melts, you will only have the breast to eat. I would recommend that you get a whole duck so you can make gravy or use the fat to flavor something else. Well worth it!
Make sure you cook it on a rack so it's not swimming in the grease. I use the little rack from my stove top smoker.
When it comes to Daffy, simple is better. Just follow the directions on the wrap and you will be fine.

I would just cook it like chicken, in my covered roasting pan on a rack. Duck gravy is the best.

When I make duck I stuff it with saurkraut.
Always pock the breast with a fork and roast breast side down, on a rack.
