Welcome to #10DaysofTailgate!
For the next ten days, over twenty bloggers will be bringing you enough tasty game-day eats to keep your hungry crew well-fed all season long.
But, let me stop you before you go thinking that these are going to be you standard tailgating fare.
You see, we have a line-up of fun an unique sponsors who have joined us for this event. Not only can you enter to win some of their product, but the bloggers have taken tailgating to a new level by incorporating unique meats, artisan sauces and other quality products that you might not typically find in your game-day spread.
We love the classics, but for the next ten days, we'll be showing you how to transform those classics into new dishes that will wow your crew.
Our Asian Duck Sliders
We were incredibly excited when we found out that Maple Leaf Farms would be joining us for our tailgate.
Duck isn't something you would typically think of as a a game day meat. That is, until we found out they offer ground duck and duck bacon.
Simply, wow!
The ground duck has a flavor and texture similar to pork sausage, and is incredibly flavorful without any seasoning what-so-ever. But, we decided to head in an Asian direction with some ginger and the warm spices for Chinese Five Spice powder.
A fresh cabbage slaw adds some veggie brightness to the flavors of the slider, creating a combo that was a quick hit with everyone who tasted them.
Asian Duck Sliders
Ingredients
Honey Ginger Slaw
- 2 c red cabbage, shredded
- 1 carrot, julienned
- 1 sweet onion, sliced
- ½ c crushed pineapples with juice
- 2 teaspoon soy sauce
- 2 teaspoon white vinegar
- 2 teaspoon honey
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
Duck Sliders
- 1 lb ground duck
- 2 ½ teaspoon Chinese five spice powder
- ½ teaspoon ground ginger
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- ⅛ teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 8 slider buns (We used French bread rolls.)
Instructions
Honey Ginger Slaw
- Place the cabbage, carrots, onions and pineapple in a large bowl.
- In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, vinegar, honey and ginger until combined. Pour sauce over veggies, and stir until coated.
- Set aside. (This can be made ahead of time and refrigerated for up to 24 hours.
Duck Sliders
- In a medium bowl, mix together ground duck, Five Spice powder, ginger, garlic and red pepper flakes.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Form 2 tablespoon of the duck mixture into a patty, roughly 2½ - 3 inches in diameter. Place patties onto the hot skillet and cook for 2 minutes on each side, until the color of the meat has changed and the patty is firm. Remove from heat and continue with the remaining duck mixture.
- To form the sliders, place one patty in each bun and top with the Honey Ginger Slaw.

I passed on the duck but now I wish I had gotten it after all. THese sliders sounds great.
What a fun tailgate recipe! I love the Asian flavors, especially the Chinese Five Spice! Your recipe looks and sounds delicious! Yum, Hugs, Terra
Wow. Now I truly wish I had signed up for the duck. What was I thinking ??????
These look amazing! I almost did sliders, and I'm glad I didn't. They would not have looked as good as these!
What a great way to prepare the duck. Wonderful recipe!!
mmm, sounds wonderful! we love asian-inspired meals too.
I've never cooked with duck before. Sounds like an awesome slider! Great tailgating recipe.
Love that you made sliders with the duck. Also, that slaw recipe sounds fantastic! It might even get my non-slaw lovers to gobble it up with the use of pineapple juice.
Those look fantastic!! We just made duck sliders for lunch today - kicked up with some El Diablo chipotle mustard, they were wonderful! The duck works great for sliders! 🙂
I just got my duck yesterday. So, haven't had a chance to create a #10DaysofTailgate recipe with it. But yours looks amazing. Thanks for sharing and for participating in this event.
