4 servings
- 1 whole duck (about 5 lb), giblets removed
- 1 ½ tsp sea salt
- ½ tsp black pepper, freshly ground
- 1 tsp ground turmeric
- 1 tsp dried thyme
- ½ tsp dried oregano
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 lemon, halved
- 4 sprigs fresh thyme
- 4 sprigs fresh rosemary
- 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
For serving
- 2 tbsp fresh flat-leaf parsley, roughly chopped (optional)
- 1 lemon, cut into wedges (optional)
Instructions
- 1
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Pat the duck completely dry inside and out with paper towels — the drier the skin, the crisper it will render.

In a small bowl, combine the sea salt, black pepper, turmeric, dried thyme, and dried oregano. Stir in the olive oil and lemon juice to form a loose paste.
