The best duck I ever had was smoked over a fruitwood fire...yummm yummm
We turn all of our duck into peperoni and summer sausage.

The breasts~sprinkle with salt and pepper and sear each side in hot butter till med. rare, serve immediately.
The legs~lay several out in a baking dish,dump a can or two of Mexican stewed tomatoes,cover and cook at 250-275 for several hours until the meat starts to fall off the bones.
Whole duck~soak in lightly salted and sugared brine for two days,pat dry,wrap in cheese cloth,hang from the neck and smoke for about 8 hours,then finish by stuffing with apples and onions and cooking in the oven at 300 just until done.

Season with your favorite seasoning.
Put it in an old boot.
Cook the boot at 350* for an hour.
Throw the duck out and eat the boot.
Seriously though we just turn all ours into pepperoni. Works for us and is quite tasty.

I'm not exactly sure. My parents have it made
Check with local butchers. Most will mix with 50% beef and flavor whatever you want it to be. We have some plain and some pepper. Delicious.

Mesquite wood on the bbq,
baste with a blackberry/garlic glaze cook until medium rare.
Some of the best meat you'll ever eat.

Here is a recipe that I think will be great:
Orange Duck Recipe :
1 Tablespoon of Vegetable Oil
1/3 Cup of Orange Juice
2 Tablespoons Grated Orange Peel
1/2 Cup Can of Peaches, Pureed
1/2 Cup Can of Pineapple, Pureed
1/3 Cup Whipping Cream
1 Tsp. Bacon Drippings
2 Tablespoon Butter
1/2 Tsp. Chopped Fresh Garlic
1 Tsp. Tomato Paste
1 Cup Chicken Broth
1 Tablespoon Clover Honey
In a large skillet, heat oil and add 1 tablespoon butter and bacon drippings. Once the oil is hot, add mushrooms and sauté for about a couple minutes. Remove and set aside. Add garlic and brown duck breasts on both sides, remove and set aside. Add the remaining butter and reduce heat to simmer. Once the butter is melted add orange rind, tomato paste, chicken broth, honey, and orange juice. Stir over medium low heat until mixture comes to a boil. Add pineapple and peach, bring back to a light boil. Place breasts in a large pot and coat with sauce. Cook over low heat about 20 minutes. Arrange breasts on serving platter. Whisk whipped cream into sauce and add mushrooms. Put sauce over breasts and place in the broiler. Brown lightly and serve.
I got it from
http://www.nodakoutdoors.com/duckrecipe.php
I haven't tried that exact recipe, but I found the secret to cooking duck was to use orange juice. I haven't hunted ducks for over 10 years now and I don't remember the exact way I had finally found to cook duck but the above recipe isn't far from the one I had used.
There are a few more on the website that the link points you to.

Here is a recipe that is almost identical to one I used to use. I found to be exceptional - (I found it at
Ducks
Unlimitted.
Spicy Grilled Duck Breasts with Orange and Grapefruit
1 cup chicken broth
3/4 cup frozen orange juice concentrate
3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
2 tablespoons Jamaican jerk seasoning
2 cloves garlic, minced
6 - 8 boneless, skinless duck breast halves
2 teaspoons cornstarch
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 cup grapefruit sections
1 cup orange sections
1/4 cup sliced green onions
1 tablespoon orange zest
In a non-metallic bowl, combine chicken broth, orange juice concentrate, vinegar, 1 tablespoon jerk seasoning and garlic. Place duck breasts in a plastic bag and pour half of marinade mixture into bag. Refrigerate for 12 hours. Refrigerate remaining marinade.
Combine the remaining chilled marinade mixture with cornstarch. Bring to a boil in a saucepan. Reduce heat and simmer for 2 minutes while stirring. Cool mixture.
Remove duck from marinade and pat dry. Rub duck with olive oil and jerk seasoning. Place on white-hot grill and cook until medium-rare. Just before removing from the grill, baste with thickened sauce mixture. Allow to rest for a few minutes, slice and top with fruit segments, onions and zest.

Take the breast halfs, lay out flat and beat till its thin, Dip in wipped egg,then into flour with salt and pepper added, lay it in some oil cook till done.. Comes out like a chicken fried steak.
