  • Pheasant Recipes

    I know we had a thread like this before, I don't want to look for it. I have a couple of good ways to prepare pheasant a little differently.

    Pheasant and Wild Rice soup (a little labor intensive but worth it)
    Ingredients followed by preparation instructions:

    For the roux:

    1/2 Cup plus 2 Tablespoons of butter
    1 Cup of flour

    For the Veggie mix:

    2 Tablespoons of butter
    1 Cup finley chopped celery
    1 Cup of sliced carrots
    1 Cup of finely chopped onion (I don't include onion or green pepper)
    1/3 Cup of finely chopped green bell pepper
    1/3 Cup of finely chopped red/yellow/orange bell peppers
    2 Cups of white shoe peg corn
    2 Cups of sliced mushrooms
    1 Medium jalapeno

    For the Soup stock and "meat":

    1 Gallon total of chicken broth and pheasant stock (see below)
    1 Tablespoon finely chopped parsely
    1 teaspoon salt
    1/4 teaspoon each of black pepper, white pepper, ground nutmeg and cayenne
    1 1/2 lbs of pheasant meat cooked and chopped (We slow cook 2 whole pheasants on the bone in 10 cups of chicken stock overnight and include that amount in the gallon of broth from above)
    3 Cups of cooked wild rice
    1 Cup of heavy whipping cream

    To prepare the soup:

    For the roux: Heat the butter in a skillet until hot, stir in the flour and mix while cooking over low heat for about 2 minutes until consistency of a roux, do not brown. Set aside for later.

    For the Veggie mix: Take the 2 Tablespoons of butter and melt in a large saucepan adding the celery, carrots, onion, and peppers saute unitl onion is tender. Then add the mushrooms, corn and jalapeno. Cook all the veggies until the mushrooms turn a golden brown. Remove veggies from heat.

    To bring it all together: Bring broth to a boil in a large stockpot (at least 2 gallon pot), stir in the previously made roux. Simmer while stirring frequently until thickened. Add veggie mixture and 1/4 teaspoon of each seasoning listed above while continuing to simmer. Finally, add pheasant, wild rice, and lastly 1 Cup of heavy whipping cream (do not allow cream to boil) and mix gently. Allow to heat through while stirring occasionally, then enjoy.

    Re: Pheasant Recipes

    Pheasant burgers (easy and excellent for tailgating):

    Pheasant meat, fatty bacon, meat grinder is all that is needed.

    I debone some pheasants and grind the meat combining it with fatty bacon (no lean stuff). I mix it about 2/3 pheasant to 1/3 bacon, I just guess I don't weigh or measure. I don't add any other ingrediants your sure could if you wanted to.

    Make the combined meat into patties.

    When I grill them I just use a little salt and pepper and a piece of cheese, I like pepper jack. Some guys put barbecue sauce on them, thats good to.

      I had these for the first time at the Yankton tailgate area, was probably you that gave it to me. Was awesome, and I bought a meat grinder of my own last year so I could make them. Great way to use up pheasant during the season.
