If you like Goose, please Honk!

[frank bullitt]

I had some goose a few years ago, and am "honking" for some recipes from you great folks!

Oven, crockpot, or grill?

Thanks and good shootin, Steve.

My favorite way to cook goose is bone out and skin the breast.  Put it in a crockpot with carrots, potatoes, onions, garlic, 1/4 cup beef broth, salt, pepper and cook on low for about 8 hours.  It tastes just like roast beef.  I haven't been into any good goose hunting in several years so if you've got 'em lucky you!  I wish I was there to knock 'em down with ya.

Gary, that was my feeling when I ate it, just like roast beef!

I don't have a place to hunt them, would love to try though! They have been flying over in the field in front of the house, in the afternoons.

But a guy I know has been hunting them and said he would save me as bird or two. Hope so!

Thanks for the recipe, and Good shootin, Steve

When you're done, render the carcass and bones into broth. Makes a soup that wakes the dead.

If you have too much meat it makes great jerkey too, as does duck.

Have a buddy that hunts geese every year in Maryland.

We make stew and chili from it and tastes just like beef. In fact reminds me of Prime rib in both of these dishes.

Evidently they shoot quite a few geese because he usually brings around 5 to 10 pound of ground goose back with him. Man does it make some great burgers!!

[frank bullitt]

BB that does sound goood! They grind it up?

I sure hope the guy brings me some!

Thanks alot guys for the response and recipes, and Good shootin too you!

The last time I had a honker was at a game dinner held at an Elk's Lodge in Redwing, MN.  It was the most unique way that I've ever eaten it (hence why I remember HOW it was done).

You are going to think this is weird, but, here goes:

The placed each goose in its own foil roasting pan and covered it in Karo Syrup (yes, Karo syrup).  The "chef" would take each out after every 30 minutes and spoon the syrup over the goose.  They did this for about 4 to 5 hours.  When it was done (just in time for the hungry crowd), the meat had fallen off the bone.  The chef just removed the bare carcass after pulling any remaining meat off and was left with a pan full of the most absolutely delicious meat you have ever eaten.  And, NO, it was not sweet (which is what perplexed me).  Don't ask me what that chemical reaction was, but the outcome was incredible.  I always wished that I could experiment to that degree with wild game!

fry it in a deep fryer. use the same batter you would put on fish.

I cook mine ( bonless breast)on a charcoal grill just like a steak and make sure not to over cook it. You can marinade it in whatever you want. Make sure to take off the skin

[ryped]

I marinate the sliced boned out breast in soy, worshy sauce and a few drops of liquid smoke.  Then wrap the slices around mushrooms, onion pieces, water chestnuts etc, then wrap with bacon and hold it all together with toothpicks.  Grill and eat.  Make up a bunch they won't last long.

Glad I saw this thread!I got plenty of geese but have never shot any because I did not know what to do with them.Might give some of these ideas a try next year.We had a 15 per day limit on them this year so I can stock the freezer if they taste good.  

[Chris Shelton]

man I love me some goose!!!  Dad cooks them on the grill and it was so tender and amazing.  He didnt touch it with any seasoning, just the meat and the flame.  And the flavor was extremely similar to roast beef

[TooManyHobbies]

Put breasts and legs in a crock pot and cover with BBQ sauce. Let cook for 8 hours and serve with mashed 'tators and favorite veggie.

Marinate in Italian salad dressing and cook on the grill......Randy

[Cyclic-Rivers]

My geese have always been muddy tasting. Is it the way I prepare them or just the geese I shot?

[TREESLEEPER]

I cook snow geese in a gumbo or make jerky with the breasts. Speckled bellies on the other hand are baked in the oven in a browning bag with veggies. Very tasty. We call them "Ribeye in the sky".

[Mike Vines]

find a recipe on how to make corned beef, and do the same thing to the goose.  Makes the best Canadian Ruben sandwich I ever had.

[frank bullitt]

Dang Mike, Corn beef, you going directly to my Heart, sir!

Keep 'em  coming folks!
