In the Wild with Greg Wagner


TERRIFIC TEAL ON THE GRILL by Greg Wagner

Blue-Winged Teal.

From my memory of grilling wild game with granddad, comes a super simple, but terrific recipe that he had for teal. Teal ducks are undisputedly among the tastiest ducks around. This is a “gotta try” recipe for you waterfowl hunters who’ll be harvesting teal this fall in Nebraska. I wanted to share it with you. We’ve enjoyed it through the years (when we could hit those fast-flying little ducks). Here it is.  

TERRIFIC TEAL ON THE GRILL 

Wrap bacon around the breast of the Teal.    

Melt some butter.    

Then, mix the butter with garlic powder and brown sugar to form a thick consistency.    

Coat the breast and the bacon with this mixture. Throw it on the grill.    

Keep it at a low temperature.  Make sure it’s done all the way.    

Savor every bite!          

 See you out there, or at the grill, I should say.
