What could be tastier or easier than slow cooking a duck in your crock pot? Take it a step further and you have a wonderful dish that is full of fall flavor with an Italian flair. Duck has a more robust flavor than chicken that pairs well with the robust comfort style food that fall has to offer. Serve this dish at your next dinner party or as a unique take on a Thanksgiving dinner that will have everyone chatting for hours! Try to find the same brand of the pillowy gnocchi being used or something similar. Keep in mind that the duck will take time to thaw. Ingredient amounts will serve between 6 – 8 people.
