About Pheasant, cooked, total edible

The pheasant is a long-tailed game bird, with the common ring-necked pheasant (Phasianus colchicus) the most widely hunted and farmed for the table. Its meat is lean and finely textured, similar to chicken but with a richer, slightly gamey, savory depth, and the breast is pale while the legs are darker. Pheasant is a lean source of high-quality protein, supplying B vitamins, selenium, and iron with less fat than chicken.

Because it is so lean, it dries out easily, so cooks often bard it with bacon, braise it, or roast it gently and baste it to keep the meat moist and tender. It is wonderful roasted whole, braised in wine, or simmered into hearty stews and pies, and it pairs well with mushrooms, apples, and rich sauces. Farmed pheasant is milder than wild. Choose plump, fresh birds, and keep pheasant well chilled or frozen until you cook it.
