INSTRUCTIONS
Directions: Preheat oven to 350. Season duck cavities and prick skin
once on breast, back and thighs. Melt butter and oil in heavy
casserole dish on stove top. Brown ducks on all sides over medium
flame. Remove from fire. Make herb bouquet in cheesecloth with
parsley, rosemary, bay leaf and thyme. Pour butter and fat off ducks,
sprinkle with salt and pepper, add herb bouquet and cover dish to cook
for 1 hour. Ducks are best medium rare; prick breast and stop cooking
when expressed juice is pale rose. Yellow means well-done (dry). Cook
peeled turnips in salted water for 8 minutes, halved. Add to dish at
40 minutes. Continue basting both turnips and duck for 20 minutes
more. Suggestions: French bread, red Burgundy, hot turnips and rare
duck. From Gemini's MASSIVE MealMaster collection at
