Every week on Food Republic, we'll introduce you to a new burger recipe to try at home. This week, we're throwing out a curveball, subbing in our feathered friend the duck's juicy meat for our beloved beef blends. It's all the rage in gay Paree and you can find some fine examples stateside like the duck burger from NYC's Perilla. But for those of us who just have to try making something ourselves, Food Republic whipped up this duck burger recipe. Try it out and let us know what you think.
