I enjoy experimenting in the kitchen. I started with a basic bread stuffing, then began adding different things from my cupboard. This is the recipe I came up with. The stuffing disappears long before the bird is gone!

Stuffed Duckling Recipe

Prep: 20 min. Bake: 1-3/4 hours + standing

Yield: 6 Servings

20 105 125

Ingredients

1/2 cup chopped onion
1 tablespoon butter
1 garlic clove, minced
2 cups cubed day-old bread
1 cup cooked rice
1 teaspoon dried basil
1 teaspoon dried rosemary, crushed
1 teaspoon rubbed sage
1 teaspoon dried parsley flakes
1 teaspoon salt, divided
1/8 teaspoon pepper
1/2 cup raisins
1/2 cup chopped pecans
1/4 to 1/3 cup chicken broth
1 domestic duckling (4 to 5 pounds)

Directions

In a large skillet, saute onion in butter until tender. Add garlic; cook 1 minute longer. Transfer to a large bowl. Add the bread cubes, rice, basil, rosemary, sage, parsley flakes, 1/2 teaspoon salt and pepper. Add the raisins, pecans and enough broth to moisten; toss gently.
Sprinkle duck cavity with remaining salt. Lightly stuff bread mixture into duck. Place breast side up on a rack in shallow roasting pan. Prick skin well with a fork.
Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 1-3/4 to 2 hours or until a meat thermometer reads 180° for duck and 165° for stuffing. Drain fat as it accumulates during roasting. Cover duck with foil and let stand for 20 minutes before removing stuffing and carving. Yield: 4 servings.

This is the 2nd year in a row I made this recipe for Christmas dinner. It has to be the best stuffing I have ever tasted. It goes really well with the duck. My husband begged for this to be made again this year. I only changed the pecans to pine nuts (because that's what I had on hand) and used golden raisins. I highly recommend this recipe.
