I'm a big fan of pheasant pot pies. Dont have the recipie on hand but I'm sure you can find a pot pie recipie on the interweb somewhere if you wanted to go that route.

Here is a simple but excellent pheasant recipe.

Take the pheasant breasts and filet them into thin pieces. 1/4 or 1/3 of an inch thick. Marinade the pieces in Franks Red Hot sauce for 4+ hours. Remove the pheasant from the marinade and let the excess Franks semi dry off. Dip the pheasant in all purpose flour and pan fry in butter.

One of my favorite ways to eat pheasant. The flavor the Frank's gives the pheasant isn't overwhelming but is very tasty.

I like to use my favorite fish batter and cut the pheasant into strips. I then fairly slow pan fry them in a little olive oil. Mmmmm - like chicken tenders or strips only better.

Always a hit.

Pheasant Pate

Makes 6 to 8 servings.

Ingredients

1pheasant, cooked

1/2 lb. cream cheese, softened

2 teaspoons grated lemon rind

2 tablespoons sour cream

1/4 cup (50grs) butter softened

2 teaspoons Dijon mustard

½ large onion or 1 small one

2 jalapeno

Green onions chopped

Bell peppers chopped finely

Salt and pepper to taste

Preparation

1. cook pheasant. I usually boil for 10 minutes or so, but smoked would be awesome. Pull meat off bone and cut into smaller pieces.

2. puree pheasant and place into bowl.

3. rest of ingredients into food processor and puree.

4. add pheasant to food processor and blend together. Add salt and pepper to taste.

5. place in bowl and mix in green onions. Chopped bell peppers (red and yellow give good color) and mix in.

6. serve with crackers or bread.

Looks like some good recipes.

This is what I make most years for Christmas Eve. Very easy. Breasts turn out tender and tasty.

Season breasts.

Mix 1 can of cream of mushroom, 1 can of cream of chicken, and 1 can of cream of celery soup together.

Stir breats into soup mixture.

Place evrything in crockpot and cook for 2hrs on high, then 4-5 hrs on low.

Serve over egg noodles.

This year I cooked 12 breasts. I used Grill Mates Roasted Garlic & Herbs to season them. I added a 4th can of soup because I wanted to have extra sauce. I started cooking them at 10am and served at 5:30pm. Everyone seemed to enjoy the pheasant. It has become a Xmas tradition for us.

This week I have been grinding Vension, pork and Pheasant. We ended up grinding 4 birds up and added 1.5 lbs of hot Italian Sausage and made pheasant sticks. Boy it was good, never have did them this way but we were grinding and figured what the heck....
