Christmas Duck Stuffing

Duck is always special! To make it more so for Christmas, serve it with this lovely stuffing, but don't stuff it into the duck. It will cause the duck to cook unevenly. Stuff the duck neck skin with it and you'll have perfect rounds of stuffing encased in delicious crispy skin.
