Goose meat

It was kinda dark, like duck or wild turkey. Really lean, and easy to overcook as a result. I'm not remembering all details of the instructions they sent with it, but guarding against drying it out rings a bell. Taste-wise it wasn't as flavorful as wild turkey, but still fairly rich for poultry. Moonlite was the only place I've seen to sell goose, and maybe it was a Christmas time special only, since I don't see it on their website now.

Love me some Moonlite. I have a publication that inserts into the Owensboro area papers in the spring so I have to truck the copies up there. I always plan the trip so I can hit Moonlite around the lunch buffet.

As far as the OP, I'd agree with Wildcats. It's been several years since I had any goose, but I'd say it's like combining a turkey and a duck. Not as flavorful as turkey, not as gamey as duck, little on the dry side. I've never cooked it, only eaten it. But if I was cooking it, I'd say it would be best to treat it like turkey.
