Mix ground duck with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder in a bowl.

Form the mixture into patties of desired size.

Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat until hot.

Cook the patties for 5-6 minutes on each side, or until they reach an internal temperature of 165°F.

Toast the burger buns on the grill until golden brown, about 1-2 minutes.

Spread mayonnaise on the bottom half of each bun.

Place the cooked duck patty on the mayonnaise-covered bun.

Top with cheese, avocado slices, tomato, lettuce, and pickles.

Spread mustard on the top half of the bun before closing the burger.

Serve immediately with your choice of sides.
