Ingredients

  • 2 domestic ducklings (4 to 5 pounds each)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • STUFFING:
  • 4 cups coarse soft bread crumbs
  • 2 cups chopped peeled tart apples
  • 2 cups chopped toasted hazelnuts
  • 1 cup chopped celery
  • 1/2 cup chopped onion
  • 1/2 cup orange juice
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • 1/4 cup butter, melted
  • 2 to 3 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 2 teaspoons grated orange peel
  • 1-1/2 teaspoons grated lemon peel
  • 1 teaspoon seasoned salt
