What each ingredient does

Goose
The main protein, which becomes tender and browned as it roasts.
Gravy
Adds moisture and savory flavor to the roasted goose.

The step that matters

Roast the goose until fully cooked. Poultry must reach a fully cooked interior to be safe to eat. Cooking through also firms the meat and renders fat, so the goose is neither raw nor dry at the centre.
