Baked Pheasant in Wine Sauce
"This recipe uses wild pheasant. It came from my grandmother to my mother to me. We traditionally served this recipe at Thanksgiving (during pheasant season). During cooking, it forms a sauce or gravy that thickens best if stirred just a little when the sherry is added."

Outstanding Pheasant dish! The whole house smelled so good while this was cooking. I will be making this one again. I minced the garlic and used the juice from the mushrooms as part of the water required. The meat came out tender and moist. I served it with recipe #210232 and steamed broccoli. We had a wonderful meal. I posted a before and after cooking picture. Hope others will try this dish. Thanks, Shirley Spillman for posting.
