Canada Goose Stew

• Soak breasts from four geese overnight in 1/3 C. salt and 2 TBS baking soda.

• Sauté 1 large onion, stalk celery in 4 TBS butter for a few minutes.

• Carve breasts into 2 in. pieces and sauté in the onion/butter mixture for 10 min. at medium to high 

heat.

• While goose is sautéing, add 2 TBS Worcester Sauce and liberal amount of garlic powder. Also add small 

amount of hot sauce to taste.

• Add 48 oz. can beef consommé (that's the secret) and simmer one hour. During this process, add salt

to taste.

• Add vegetables (we use potato, turnip, carrots, cabbage and parsnips) and simmer at least 30 minutes.

• Serve with rolls or bread and ask your guests how their wild beef stew tastes. Even your non-goose 

eaters will love it! The above recipe would 

feed 8-10 people.

1 can Coca-Cola (must be the brand name-no substitutes)

Empty can of Coke in bowl & mix a fair amount of brown sugar. You want a 

liquid consistency.

Roast Canada Goose

• Soak goose overnight, adding 1/3 C. salt and 3TBS baking soda.

• Dry well and lightly season cavity with salt and pepper. Fill cavity with your favorite stuffing (my 

favorite is a potato/bread mixture with summer savory and sage added to sautéed onions in butter). You

will not find this stuffing recipe at Weight Watchers.

• Brush goose with a mixture of olive oil and butter, then season with salt and ground pepper (I also like 

to lightly add a mixture of garlic and onion powder).

• Cook goose for approximately 90 minutes at 400F, in a very tight roaster 

containing at least 1 in. of water. This will steam roast the bird (the big secret) and it is important to not

remove the cover during this time.

• Remove the cover, baste the bird and then "brown" it for approximately 20-30 minutes.

• The drippings make an excellent gravy.

Note:

The above recipe refers to a goose that would dress out at approximately 6-7 pounds. Remember of 

course that a stuffed bird takes longer to cook. 

Roast Goose

1 Tablespoon all-purpose flour 

1 whole dressed goose (about 8lbs) skin on

large roasting pan. 

Rinse goose and pat dry with paper towels. Place goose in oven cooking bag. In small mixing bowl,

combine wine, water and soup mix. Pour mixture over goose in bag. Secure bag with provided nylon tie. 

Insert meat thermometer in thickest part of goose breast through top of the bag. Make 6 ½ inch slits in

Roast goose for 1 ½ - 2 hours or until internal temperature registers 180°F. Remove goose from bag and
