  • Step 2

    Remove skin from duck/goose breast if any, trim excess fat and place in the freezer for one hour. This will make slicing much easier.

    Ingredients
    • 5 Pound wild duck or goose breast

  • Step 3

    Slice duck/goose breast into 1/4 inch strips using a very sharp knife.

  • Step 4

    In a large bowl, combine meat and marinade making sure it is completely submerged. Place in fridge for 24 hours.

  • Step 5

    Remove the meat from marinade and place strips on paper towels, letting them sit for 15 minutes to allow some of the marinade to drain off.

  • Step 6

    When ready to cook, set Traeger temperature to 180°F and preheat, lid closed for 15 minutes.

    Ingredients
    •  black pepper or crushed red pepper, optional

  • Step 8

    Lay slices in an even layer over grill grate and smoke for 2-1/2 to 3 hours checking every thirty minutes after that until the meat no longer feels soft. You want it to still bend in half, not snap.
