Thanksgiving Pheasant

[Moses2531]

I go to school down in Sioux Falls and am bringing home a couple Pheasants to join my mother's Turkey on Thanksgiving... I probably wont beat her turkey,but I'd like to put up a decent fight, just wondering some suggestions on making some delicious pheasant, I got breasts and whole birds... Thanks!

Instead of trying to compete with the main meal you could chunk up the breast and cook it up with some wild rice for a side dish. If you think it is something you want to try I will post a recipe on Sunday. It is pretty simple and very tasty.

Pheasant with wild rice casserole

1 cup fresh parsley, finely chopped

1- 10 1/2 can of cream of mushroom soup

1/2 soup can of milk

1 cup grated cheddar cheese

2 pheasants, cut into pieces

flour

shortening

few shakes of paprika

Heat mushroom soup and milk. Add to wild rice,onion and parsley. Roll pheasant in flour. Brown in shorting. Pour rice mixture into greased casserole. Sprinkle with paprika. Cover and bake at 325F for 1 hour.

Here is a chicken casserole that you could substitute with pheasant.

2 cups chicken ,diced, cooked

3/4 cup mushrooms

1/4 cup pimento,chopped

1/3 cup green pepper,chopped

1/2 cup sliced almonds

4 tbsp butter

5 tbsp flour

1 cup chicken broth

Precook wild rice. Melt butter, add flour and blend; add broth and milk. Cook until thick, stirring constantly. Add salt. Mix rest of ingredients together and pour into greased 6x10 pan.Pour sauce over all. Top with sliced almonds. Bake at 350F for 50-60 minutes.

I think that you will have nothing but empty pans to take home with no leftover to enjoy later
