One of the benefits to raising Muscovy Ducks is their meat. Unlike other ducks, Muscovy have a lean, and delicious red meat. Today I am sharing how we turn our off cuts of Muscovy duck into a juicy, delicious duck burger recipe.

Ingredients
1lbMuscovy Duck Meat
1 lbBacon
2Eggs
1/4CupBread Crumbs
1tsbBlack Pepper
1tspOnion Powder
1 tsp Garlic Powder
1 tspLiquid Smokeoptional
Instructions
In a small bowl, combine dry ingredients and set aside.
Using a meat grinder, I use a KitchenAid Attachment, grind your duck meat and bacon. Since Muscovy is a very lean meat, the bacon adds in fat to keep the burger nice and juicy. If you prefer a leaner burger, you can omit the bacon.
Once meat is ground, add in dry ingredients and eggs.
Mix until well combined.
Divide meat into 4 equal portions and form into patties.
Grill on medium, high heat for 10 - 15 minutes, or until juices run clear.
