We found this recipe in one of Hop Man Joppie’s favorite cookbooks Pheasants Forever Essential Game Bird Recipes.  The recipe was submitted to them by Tim Wendt of Cross Plains, WI.  We served this with a fruited long grain wild rice combination.  This awesome recipe is a great way to tame those game birds!
