Duck for Thanksgiving 2025
Daniel Pliska • December 1, 2025
Duck a l'Orange for my Family Thanksgiving Feast!
As always, my family requests that I prepare Roasted Duck for Thanksgiving. I change the sides and desserts ever so slightly every season and this year is no exception. Although it takes some time and effort, I encourage you to re-create it yourself for your next family feast- Happy Holidays!
Duck Roasting spice
1 TBL ground bay leaves
1 TBL ground Thyme
1 TBL Rubbed Sage
½ tsp. ground coriander
½ tsp. ground mace
2 Tbl Kosher salt or course sea salt
1 TBL Ground Black Pepper
· Blend all together in coffee grinder and store in a sealed jar.
