Waterfowl recipes

A representative cross-section (6 recipes), not an exhaustive matrix. Every recipe here is cooked to a full 165°F internal temperature — the USDA poultry standard — including duck breast, deliberately not the classic restaurant medium-rare preparation. See Field Care & Food Safety → for the handling and storage guidance that comes before any of these steps.

Every recipe here is editorially adapted from general wild-game cooking technique, never presented as "tested" by this project. This guide does not claim any preparation removes lead fragments, disease agents, or environmental contaminants from meat.
