Duck livers.

[JohnL]

Hello all,
I've got some livers from 3 ducks and two turkeys from yesterdays feast.
Any ideas as to how to use them? I love fried chicken livers, but would really like to try something else.
Thanks,
John.

John, when I dispatched my turkey the other day, I set the livers aside and dredged in season flour and cooked in bacon fat. Tasty! I know it is fried, but dang.... hard to fix something thats not broke!

Another way I have tried them and this is not very practical unless you are baking a turkey/chicken/duck.. .what ever... but towards the end of cooking the birds, I toss the livers into the drippings in the bottom of the pan for about the last 10 to 20 minutes of cooking.... oh yum!!!

I know.. my ideas above are not very 'original'.

What the heck sattie, Fried livers aren't original? I love fried giblets, hearts, gizzards, livers.....
They're all good. I was just trying to broaden my horizons a bit.

Oh, I'm with you on that. I too get the desire to try something different. The other thing I thought about was pate??? I have never made it, but have been curious about it. John, those turkey livers were soooo tender and tasty!!! Wished I had more!

Well, I know this is probably a day late and a dollar short, but how about some Cajun Dirty Rice?

I'm sorry guys, but the second you mentioned liver and bacon in the same sentence any ideas I had flew out the window.... anyone got a bib I could use??

You don't have enough for an organ pie unless you make a mini, never made pate either, have heard of it chopped up and used in the stuffing.... that's about the best I can come up with.
