Delicious Roast Duck Recipe with Apple Dressing

Ingredients

• 1 (4 pound) whole duck
• salt and pepper to taste
• 1 teaspoon poultry seasoning
• 0.5 tablespoon butter
• 3 tablespoons chopped onion
• 5 stalks celery, chopped
• 3 cups peeled, cored and chopped apple
• 3 cups cornbread crumbs
• 1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions

1. Rinse the duck and pat it dry. Then, rub it with salt, pepper, and poultry seasoning for enhanced flavor.
2. Melt butter in a small skillet over medium heat. Sauté onion and celery in the melted butter until they become tender. In a medium bowl, combine the sautéed vegetables with apple and cornbread crumbs. Mix thoroughly to create the dressing, adding a little water if needed for moisture.
3. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
4. Fill the duck's cavity generously with the prepared dressing. Sew the cavity shut securely with kitchen twine. Lightly rub the outside of the duck with olive oil. Place the duck in a shallow roasting pan or a 9x13 inch baking dish.
5. Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 60 to 80 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the duck reaches 180 degrees F (80 degrees C).
