Spicy Duck Burgers



Ingredients

1 pound ground duck
¼ pound ground pork
1-2 teaspoons Chile powder
1 tablespoon kosher salt
8 Hamburger buns (If you wish to make it look fancy try using Kaiser Roll buns)
8 cheese slices (I like thick sliced Baby Swiss)
Pickled onions or sliced sweet pickles
Ketchup or your favorite BBQ sauce

Directions

1. Sprinkle the chile powder and salt over the ground duck and mix well with your clean hands. Form into patties the size of your buns or use a burger press for uniformly sized burgers.

2. Grill your Duck burgers until they are the doneness you want; I recommend at least medium, which should take 5-7 minutes per side on medium-high heat with an internal tempter of 165 degrees.

3. You can toast the buns and melt the cheese if you want, and dress the duck burgers however you like. If you like you can toasted buns add a few slices of Baby Swiss cheese then top with pickles and onions with a smidgeon of your favorite BBQ sauce?

Serve you duck burgers with corn on the cob , French fries or even onion rings and enjoy the meal that you got while duck hunting with everyone.
