I need a good pheasant recipe

Adam's Nueburg looks great!

The only way I've had pheasant is with the breast cut into thin strips, soaked in milk, then rolled in bread crumbs. This was quick fried (45 seconds or so) in veg. oil in an electric skillet. It was a long time ago, but still remember it!

One day Im gonna get Adam to take me Pheasant hunting. Maybe he will agree in January when I've got a shotgun pointed at him in a duck blind while we are all hunting at Hoss' place. :ohmy: :laugh: :laugh:

not sure what you have but i can give you what i do

1- creamed pheasant - Cream of mushroom soup, cream, chicken broth, carmalised onions, mushrooms if you like,
I cut the breast meat in about 2 bite sizes and coat with flour and brown in the pan that I carmalised the onions in, when all of the meat is browned i put it in a crock pot with the onions and mushrooms (if you like). Now you mix all of the ingredients, but i never use the same amount, i just dump, usually i fill a 6qt crock pot, about 6 breast, 3 cans of cream of mushroom, pint of cream, and a cup of broth, it all depends on what you like, served with mashed potatos, or over wild rice!! :cheer: will also put on the egg in a dutch oven or any egg same pot :laugh:

2- Pheasant poppers!!
sliced jalapenos (jar) or you can by fresh and cut to size
cream cheese
bacon
pheasant

Cut meat into bite size pieces,and put the ingredients on in this order
meat, a dolop of cream cheese, sliced jalapenos, and wrap with bacon, and put a tooth pick thru to hold. Then egg direct until bacon is crisp and meat is down, i do them pretty low, i even do them indirect, either way works.

U can also egg them like a regular breast, just like a chicken breast.

show me pictures of the hunt and where you went, just saw a pic from Ripnem from out in western ND, and they shot a ton. :cheer: :cheer:

I've done coq au vin style. Brown in skillet with a little oil. Add aromatics and red wine and little white onions. Slight simmer and braise until done (fork tender). Do not overcook. Serve with mashed or parsley potatoes, or noodles, spaetzle, dumplings.

Hoss it is great!! I should send you some pheasant so you can try it! Or do you get out pheasant hunting, i forget where u live.

Smoked some last winter on my Egg and they came out great...

Those were whole birds without skin but you could do the same thing with a bone-in breast as long as you did the bacon.

I did try the Neuberg recipe and agree it is awesome. Really good, hearty stuff.

But my go-to recipe will remain taking the breast meat off the bone, slicing into strips about 3/4 inch wide and pounding thin. Place a dollup of cream cheese and a sliced jalapeno pepper in. Dust it with your favorite rub (I really like Dizzy Pig Raging River right now) and wrap it with bacon. Grill high in the dome until the bacon is done. HUGE hit every time I make it

I'm actually going to make a batch of those in the next week and will try to take some good pictures.

ya i hear ya on the preserve birds, i usually take my dog out to a preserve twice a year, once in the summer and once in the heart of winter, usually in January when it is about -10, and sunny, nothen better than watchen the dog work :cheer: :cheer: well if you ever get up here i will take ya out, but sounds and looks like Ripnem has the sweet spot!!

And one more...just can't help myself...love the winter hunting pictures!

What a great looking hunting crew that is!!!

sure hope there was more than 1 of you shooting those! :laugh: good looken group of dogs for labs. j/k, i see you say there are pointing labs, u should just go with the GSP if u want a true pointer. :laugh: :laugh: Here is my hunting partner


All kidding aside you have a great group of hunters.

Hoosier,

I like how you roll.

We aren't afraid of travel.



Hey I also do the same with the cream cheese/pepper and bacon wrapped Pheasant. You can do them as 'whole' half breasts too as a main course, but the smaller portion makes for a perfect appitizer.

your right on the snow and ice in the duck blind! I dont duck hunt anymore! Love to shoot dem ducks but dont like to eat em. I thought about a lab before i got my gsp, but i hunt pheasants every chance i get and thought i didnt need a duck hunting dog, all though he has gone and does good but he gets cold. If i were to go duck hunting my duck hunting buddy has 3 labs. Where do you go in the dakotas hunting? Where u from? And you are right, nothen better than a great worken hunten dog. and why on earth do you take that many dogs, i hope you rotate them and not ahve them all out at once, that would be crazy!!! :laugh: :laugh:

AwW man,that SUX!I'm hopin I can get back to where I was 3 years ago before I die! :blink: :( Oh well,life goes on.At least we have Eggs.A lotta people live their whole lives and never have the privilige of owning or even cooking on one.Not to mention the comradarie(sp) of this CRAZY,QUIRKY Forum! I wish you and yours ALL THE BEST!
