Tired of the same old predictable hams and
turkeys for holidays? Smoked Pheasant is the solution.
Pheasant is becoming increasingly popular because it doesn't take
long to cook and is very healthy due to its low fat and
cholesterol content. Pheasant is now readily available
nationwide. Both wild and farm-raised birds are famed for
their flavor, texture, and lean, healthful aspects.
Try a smoked pheasant from Elk Ridge. The cost is only
$25.00 each (available for pick-up at the farm).

fresh pheasant is only available in season. The flesh is pale,
lean and firm (not dissimilar to chicken), with a subtle, gamey flavor
which cooks fairly quickly. As with most game, they are best
when not overdone. Pheasant is at its best early
in the season. There are a great variety of methods in preparing
pheasant. Almost any recipes using chicken can be adapted for
use with pheasant, and any leftovers can be used to make delicious
pies, pâtés and salads. Here are just some of
the ways to prepare pheasant:
• Baked in a
Blanket
• Paprika Pheasant
• Honey Baked Pheasant
• Pot Pie
• Stir Fry
• Pheasant a la Creme
• Casserole
• Salad
