Roasted Duck with Broccoli Cheddar Grits

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius).

2. 2

   Pat the duck dry with paper towels to ensure it will roast properly. Season the duck generously with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.

3. 3

   In a roasting pan, drizzle the olive oil over the duck and rub it all over the skin. Place the duck in the oven and roast for about 1 hour and 30 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit (74 degrees Celsius) and the skin is golden and crispy.

4. 4

   While the duck is roasting, prepare the grits according to the package instructions, usually by bringing water to a boil, adding the grits, and cooking until thickened while stirring frequently.

5. 5

   Once the grits are cooked, stir in the butter until melted and fully incorporated. Then, add the can of Progresso cheddar broccoli soup to the grits and mix well. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

6. 6

   After the duck is fully roasted, remove it from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before carving. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat.

7. 7

   Serve the roasted duck over a bed of the broccoli cheddar grits. Enjoy your meal!
