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.

As with all feathered game, 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.
