Ingredients

• 12 slices bacon
• 8 cups water
• 1 (16 ounce) bottle Italian-style salad dressing
• toothpicks
• 12 duck breast halves
• 0.25 cup salt

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Mix together salt and water. Set aside 2/3 of the mixture, and pour the rest into a glass baking dish. Soak the duck in the salt water overnight to remove the gamey. Change the salt water twice, or until mostly clear.

Step 2

The next morning, discard the salt water, and pour salad dressing over the duck breasts, and marinate for at least 8 hours.

Step 3

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Wrap each breast half in one strip of bacon, and secure with a toothpick. Place the breasts in a 9x13 inch baking dish.

Step 4

Bake for about 1 hour, or until bacon is crisp, and duck is cooked through.
