Does anybody have a good idea or suggestion on the ratio of wild duck to beef for making sausage?  :( Thanks Richard

Queball,

you might want to look at pork, and maybe some type of a bratwurst. As wild duck is soooo lean you may have a pretty dry sausage if you went with beef.  My cousin makes a lot of goose/pork bratwurst and he swears by it.  Just a thought.

keep us informed.

You can maybe adapt this recipe to what your friend wants.

you may want to look at the cooked pepperoni recipe of Poli's and adapt for the use of duck. I made some with deer (substituted for beef and used 50/50 beef trim instead of straight back fat) and it turned out good, maybe cut the recipe in half to make a test run, that way you could adjust flavors according to your liking.

i've made teriyaki snack sticks with goose breasts once before and everyone who tried said they were a knock out. i mixed 5 lbs of goose meat with 1 1/2 lbs of bacon. i only added 1 tsp of cure #1 as the bacon was already cured. i used a commercial snack stick mix and adjusted it for @ 7 lbs of product. this should work real well for duck too.
