Notes
The most important thing to pay attention to when making this recipe is not to overwork the ground duck mixture. Then be sure to give it a few minutes rest after taking it out of the oven so it doesn't fall apart when you slice it.
Variation: garnish this duck meatloaf with chopped cucumber in place of the slivered almonds.
Cooked meatloaf can be stored in the refrigerator for a few days or sliced and frozen for 3 to 6 months.
