“This an easy way to prepare wild goose for the hunters or family. You can use goose with the skin on, but the meat will be greasier.” - by Matt Schwab

Ingredients

1 (10 pound) whole, skinned goose
2 cups shredded potatoes
2 (32 ounce) jars sauerkraut with liquid
2 cups applesauce
1/4 cup brown sugar

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Clean goose under cold running water, paying special attention to the cavity. Poke holes all over the goose using a paring knife. This allows some of the fat to escape while cooking. Place breast-side up onto a broiler pan or roasting rack, and cover loosely with aluminum foil.
Bake for about 1 hour in the preheated oven, or until very tender. Remove from oven and allow to cool.
Combine the shredded potatoes, sauerkraut, applesauce, and brown sugar in a slow-cooker. Remove as much meat from the goose as you can, leaving meat in large pieces. Add them to the mixture in the slow cooker. Place the lid on the cooker and cook on HIGH for 3 to 4 hours.

"My husband had already de-boned the goose, so we baked it that way and we only added 1 jar of sauerkraut (2 seemed like a lot.)It was the best goose I'd ever tasted, but I am not a big fan of goose. M..." See morey husband, who loves goose loved the meal and the goose was quite tender. The sour of the kraut and sweetness of the applesauce and brown sugar make a nice combination."
