Whisk flour into the duck fat to make the roux. Keep whisking until the roux turns from a creamy white to a dark brown.

Once the roux is ready, stir in the celery, green pepper and onion and cook for about five minutes. Stir the vegetables often. Add garlic and cook for about 30 seconds.

Slowly stir in the chicken stock. Add in the 2 tablespoons Cajun seasoning, bay leaves, Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce, sausage and duck. Bring to a boil and then cover and simmer.
