Tunnel-Boning Duck

A duck has a much higher bone to meat ratio, so it is worth boning and stuffing one, if only because it makes it easier to carve. Boning and stuffing are also a good way to stretch a duck to feed a larger number of people.

Normally only the breastbone and backbone are carved out in this style of boning. The legs and wings are left to add shape to the boned and stuffed bird.
