Pheasant Recipes Pressure Cooker

I hope that everyone had a wonderful Christmas and is gearing up for the new year! We had lots of relaxing and good family time which is just what we needed. Now we’re back in Montrose ready to celebrate the new year! I wanted to share this alfredo pizza recipe with you. It’s super simple to make and we used pheasant that my husband’s dad gave to us! I will admit, I had no idea how to cook pheasant. But with a little research and experimenting, I came up with a pretty easy and foolproof method that anyone can implement to get the perfect, tender cooked pheasant. Of course, you can also use chicken for your alfredo pizza. But pheasant has a very similar taste and is surprisingly healthier than chicken!

Pheasant is very similar to chicken but is much less tender because these birds produce more muscle than a chicken or turkey. I have never hunted for pheasant and never will! It’s just not my jam, you know? My husband, however, is very much into hunting and so I figured I had better learn how to cook pheasant meat. He did not hunt for pheasant this year but plans to in the future!

The pheasant meat (I used whole pheasants) that we got from my husband’s dad was farm raised and hunted on private land. So, according to my husband, it was probably more tender and less gamey than wild pheasant. If you ever have pheasant (or any bird) that was hunted, I’d recommend REALLY checking the meat for any residual shotgun pellets. But pheasant can also be purchased at stores like Whole Foods, so you won’t have to worry if you go that route!

I cooked two full pheasants using this method. You will need to adjust the cooking time and liquid amount depending on how much meat you will be cooking. All measurements are in the recipe below so that you can easily convert based on the amount of meat you have!

I really liked how the shredded pheasant turned out and cooking it this way makes it so versatile to use in multiple recipes! You can freeze it, add to a salad, add to a soup or, in my case, add to an alfredo pizza!

Air Fryer Pheasant

After a few months of trial, error, successes, and failures, I finally figured out which pheasant recipes worked for me and which ones didn’t turn out so well.

The wine sauce in this dish makes the pheasant, which can sometimes come out dry, as juicy and tender as any meat you can cook.

The mushrooms highlight the slight gaminess of the pheasant, but the wine sauce rounds out the edges so that every bite is delicious.

You may use spaghetti noodles in this pheasant pasta, but earthy dinner is about as far from spaghetti as you can get.

This is mac and cheese like you’ve never had it before, unless, of course, you’ve had it with three different cheeses, pheasant, green chiles, onions, garlic, and more.

It takes a little work (30 minutes of prep and 45 to cook), but it’s well worth every second you spend on it, resulting in five-star-restaurant-quality mac and cheese.

If you can marinate meat, stick some ingredients on skewers, and throw them on a grill, you’ll have these hot, tasty treats covered!

Pan-fried pheasant is a tender, tasty treat, and that’s before you cover it in the delicious sauce made from dry cider, butter, sour cream, and parsley.

Braised Pheasant With Chestnuts

I love any poultry served with a creamy sauce and mushrooms, and once you add puff pastry into the mix, I’m pretty much in heaven.

It’s not quite as large, but it’s every bit as delicious, and its slightly wild flavor gives it just a little something extra.
