cut in 1/2" strips across the grain, marinate overnight throw em in dehydrator. that simple. my marinade is different all the time just depends what i have at the house. but always a lot of salt and pepper, dejhon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and crushed red pepper. i never use certian amounts just throw in what looks right in the ziplock bag. always turns out good.

Corned Goose

EaglePoint made a big batch of corned goose a couple seasons ago, and that's about the best goose I've ever tasted! The sky is the limit though, just make sure if you don't smoke it or turn it into jerky... leave it rare to mid-rare, otherwise you'll be chewing for a while. Overcooked Canada Goose is not a very pleasant meal, but I've tasted much worse. Teriyaki injected and marinated is also a fine way to go!

grilled strips leave them medium rare
and did i mention jerky?
If yur own jerky is just so-so, find a deer processor who has it down. Unload it on him. I took 80 lbs breast to a local processor. He handles it like a boss.

the jerky i make is actualy realy good. like i said before i do not use any measuring tools. just add what i think looks about right. i do get sticks or trail made about every year from a deer processor. i also forgot to mention goose stir fry over white rice. is very good. keeping the meat medium rare is the best advise for cooking goose. if not over cooked i think it taste a lot like beef. when cooked well done the taste and texture is more like beef liver. which im not a fan of.

As you all mentioned anything past med-rare,if not making Corned goose In my opinion will make for a very undesirable dish and only fit for the dogs or the trash can!

If you really want a treat for both duck and goose,pluck and leave on as much (all) of the skin. Home cured proscuitto!

Recipe.
per 6-8 duck breasts or 2-3 goose breasts

6 cup kosher salt ( 2 additional c needed later in process)
2 cup brown sugar
1/2 tspn thyme
zest from 1 orange

Method: mix all ingredients, in a pan just big enough to fit your prefered breast in, cover bottom of pan with 1/2 of mixture then cover breasts with remaining mixture cover and put in fridge let sit for 8 days check every 2 days and let cure, it will get very liquidy every 2 days sprinkle with more salt at the end of the 8th day wash off breast pat dry and slice thin.( many ways of doing it look on web)

This makes a great Shish Kebab, or just throw the meat on the grill. With goose and duck you want the meat to be medium rare. I grill goose cubes in the grill for 6 to 8 minutes and they come out great. Serve immediately right off the grill.

  • Variation #1: Saut� some jalapeno pepper slices in butter, roll the goose chunk up in a half slice of turkey bacon with a slice of the jalapeno inside. Put a toothpick through it and grill until the bacon is done, about 8 minutes.
  • Variation #2: In a plastic zip-lock bag, mix flour, basil, black pepper, and garlic powder to taste. Shake the marinated goose pieces in the bag and then fry them in butter or margarine until golden brown. Like little goose nuggets. Tasty!!
Enjoy this recipe, it makes goose taste great. Surprise those who can�t stand goose.

I like to smoke them. Brine them for at least overnight, longer is better. I inject them to the point they look like little footballs lol. Dry them off, cover in mustard and your favorite rub. Throw em in the smoker.
My brine consist of one cup brown sugar, 1/8 cup kosher salt per quart of water.

Get some pork fat and make hamburgers out of the breasts. I am for a 80% lean mix. Or breakfast sausage.
