I'm thinking of buying some farm raised organic pheasant for the holidays instead of a huge turkey. There are only two of us to feed if we don't have guests or go visit family. So I'm looking for something a little different to perk up our Thanksgiving this year. I've had pheasant in restaurants a few times and liked it, but have no clue how to cook a whole one. I've read that the meat can be a bit tough and dry , so I would need to baste and moist roast it, right?
Too bad I can't catch my own, we had about 30 ring necks in our yard this morning! But I'd likely shoot my own foot off trying 
Begging for advice

ha! Thats funny. You know, can I recommend a different bird? How about Cornish game hens? The reason why is that I've only had pheasant used in stew. I've heard the meat isn't very good on its own. You could also just use a turkey breast...

| my husband hunts pheasant. Anytime I have fixed it, he just saves the breast from them. I have fixed them with cream of mushroom & wild rice & baked them covered in foil. It is good but the meat is more dry than turkey or chicken. My son(8 yrs old) loves when I fix pheasant & noodles instead of chicken & noodles. |

| My hubby also hunts pheasant. I use it in exchange for alot of my chicken or turkey recipes. Pheasant & rice ( as mentioned above), pheasant enchiladas, pheasant & noodles, pheasant strips(like chicken strips), pheasant parmesan. Hope you find some great recipes! |
