Duck Gizzards

[Hunter527]

This morning I tried duck gizzards for the first time, and I realized that for years I have been throwing away a prime cut of meat. All you have to do is cut them in half, rinse them out and cut out the interior lining. I boiled them with celery, carrot and garlic, and they were delicious. Who else enjoys the gizzards? I know I will be saving them from now on.

Ever tried Giblet Gravy with a duck? Awesome with chicken and turkey.

I haven't, I'll have to give it a try.

I'm more of a liver and heart guy, but yes gizzards are great in giblet gravy. A wild turkey gizzard takes a bit more effort to prep but it's cool to see inside what they've been eating.

I love gizzards.......Similar to chicken fried steak....

They're pretty good. Usually just give them cut up raw to pets.

Grandma used to make a crock pot recipe with goose gizzards and mushroom soup poured over mash'd taters. It was amazing ! Haven't made it in years; may have to !!

@Snake Charmer and I smashed the sandy's in Northern Texas (freelance). Fun bird to hunt. The birds we shot decoyed very well. In fact, they would lock up a 1/2 mile from the landing runway. They taste pretty good.

We have threatened to go back many times. We go big game hunting on the New Mexico side and drive 5 minutes and hunt the Sand Hill's on the Texas side. When we hunted them, we knocked on a door and got permission to hunt where they were landing. The owner thought we were crazy. He said, and I quote: "Why would you want to hunt those birds. Nobody has hunted them in the last 50 years." Needless to say, it was full throttle!

If we go again, you will get a call Steve.

I'm up for it, just gotta finish my current responsibilities. That would make for a great week of just hunt that species.
