About Pheasant, leg, meat only, raw
This lean game bird meat offers a high-protein, low-fat option for those seeking alternative poultry sources. With nearly 22 grams of protein per 100-gram serving and minimal carbohydrates, it provides substantial nutritional value while keeping calorie content moderate at 134 calories. The fat content sits at just 4.3 grams, making it notably leaner than many other meats. As a raw product, it maintains its natural nutrient profile without any added ingredients or processing.
In culinary applications, this meat works well in various preparations that benefit from its distinctive flavor profile. The leg meat, being slightly darker and more flavorful than breast meat, excels in slow-cooked dishes like stews, braises, and casseroles where its robust taste can develop fully. Many chefs recommend cooking it with moist heat methods to maintain tenderness, as game meats can become tough if overcooked. The meat pairs particularly well with fruits like apples and berries, as well as herbs such as thyme and sage, creating hearty autumn and winter dishes that showcase its rich, earthy character.
