Duck gumbo??

It's a really good with a good smoking spicy andouille.

Duck gumbo was a new year's day tradition for my family for decades

Oh, see these are already cleaned, skinned and deboned. Straight up duck breasts ready for the cooking.

You'd make it just like you would any other type of stock.

Start with duck bones and roast them in the oven.
Cut up an onion or 2, a few carrots, some celery and sweat it with some garlic cloves and herbs (thyme, rosemary, bay leaves) in a large pot
Once the bones get some nice color on them rub them with tomato paste and go back in the oven until the paste starts to char on top.
Add the bones to the veg and fill the pot with water.
Let it come to a boil the reduce to a simmer for a few hours.
Strain the liquid and you have yourself a nice duck stock.

Breast will work just cut them in pieces and don't cook the whole time. Supplement it with a cut up chicken. I've done that before when I didn't have enough duck. Use the breast skin to render fat and make the roux. That will give a lot of duck flavor if you don't have duck stock.

Cube the meat and simmer a good while until tender (in the gumbo). You'll have plenty of flavor.

I use duck breast fillets in gumbo often

I basically just make a chicken and sausage gumbo and add in the breast fillets with the chicken

It's pretty much the only way my wife or kids will eat duck

I'd smoke them for a little bit. Or use some smoked andouille. You want it dark and smokey. Then add at least a pint of oysters at the end.
