Breadcrumbs and cooked brown rice serve as filler. They work to absorb the juices from the ground duck so the meatloaf is moist but not mushy.

Pack the meatloaf mixture into the pan and brush it with vegetable oil to give it a nice crisp top crust. You can serve it as is, or glaze it with more hoisin sauce.

Is ground duck healthy? Duck has more fat than chicken or turkey, which is why it has more flavor. But it’s healthier than beef and other red meats.
