I'm down here at college and I brought back all the goose breasts from the birds I shot over my winter break. My question is how long and what temperature do I cook these breasts in? I'd be cooking 2 breasts at a time, which is enough for a meal. I already have them marinating, and I only have access to an oven.....if I had a grill I would be doing it on there.
 
Your first time will be a learning process so just keep checking it when its in there. Number one thing is to not overcook! I promise you it will taste horrible. All fowl becomes very gamey if overcooked. Keep it rare or medium rare and you will be ok.Good luck.

I cooked it at 350 for a half hour and it turned out great. Little on the chewy side becuase I didnt have meat tenderizer, so I didnt stab it with a fork a bunch of time. Will go out and buy some and do that for sure next time!
 
Go to this USDA web site and see the poultry preparation fact sheet it will tell you temp, cook time etc for geese and duck. The easiest way is to get a meat Thermometer and internat temp should be 165.
that is for farm raised ducks and geese a wild goose will turn into shoe leather if you cook it like that cook it rare or cook it in a slow cooker or crock pot[up]

You risk food poisoning if you do not cook it to 165 degrees. Follow the marinating instructions and you will get good tasting poultry without the RISK of an evening on the shitter or worse in the hospital.

And the USDA says to cook beef to 145 degrees internal temp but I prefer mine to be rare-medrare...which is much lower than that Ever had steak tartare? Beef Carpaccio? Sushi? Raw oysters or clams? any raw or barely cooked meats/fish? Yes, one takes a risk when eating these foods... but just because some doctors and/or the government advise against it, doesn't mean you can't safely eat them this way.[up]

The USDA goes above and beyond in their advice on cooing temps. As long as you or the restaurant you're eating at take proper care of the game/meat/fish you wish to eat, cooking things rare-medrare or eating certain things raw, shouldn't be a problem. ;)
