I love gator and I love gator burgers! This Jalapeño Cheddar Gator Burgers recipe is one of the best ways to make a gator burger I know!

My dad and husband got an 11-foot gator last year. After giving away around twenty pounds and cooking another twenty we still have forty pounds of gator meat in the freezer. You’d think with all the meat you get off a gator the internet would have more ideas than just deep frying it! This is recipe two now, using gator without frying it, and boy was it good! I highly recommend adding gator burgers to the menu if you have any gator meat in the freezer!

If you need more gator recipes in the future, which if you hunt a gator and keep the meat you definitely will, keep following this account! Here’s a link to all of the gator recipes I have made so far. This will continually be updated and if you have any suggestions or ideas post it in the comments down below!

Equipment

Ingredients

  • 2 lbs gator thawed but very cold
  • 8 oz sharp cheddar cubed to fit in grinder
  • 2 jalapeños core and remove seeds
  • 5 green onion chopped finely
  • 1 egg whisked
  • 2 T Louisiana hot sauce divided
  • 1 T Cajun seasoning
  • 1/2 C mayo
  • Hawaiian hamburger buns
  • Burger toppings lettuce, green onion, mustard, pickles, tomato, sliced cheese, etc

Instructions

  • Grind gator, cheddar, and jalapeños through a medium grinding plate.
  • In a large bowl, add the meat mixture, green onions, egg, 1T hot sauce, and Cajun seasoning. Mix until thoroughly combined.
  • If you have a flat grilling tray, heat your grill to medium high heat. If you do not, use a large skillet or large frying pan on medium high heat.
  • Form six patties. They need to be pretty fat so that they do not fall apart.
  • The meat is very lean so it does not like to stay together. I made mine about 3/4-1 inch thick and a little smaller than the size of my palm.
  • Cook the patties 4-6 minutes each side or until fully cooked. As previously stated, they like to fall apart, so be careful when flipping them.
  • Combine mayo and remaining 1T of hot sauce.
  • Assemble burgers. Enjoy!

The Nashville Hot Pheasant Sandwich might be my favorite thing I have made on this website! It is absolutely delicious and if you have some pheasant breasts in the freezer you definitely should make it!

Growing up and attending college in the South, Nashville Hot Sandwiches are a staple. This spicy crispy sandwich topped with creamy coleslaw and some cold lemonade on the side is the type of food I fantasize about lol. I was amazed when I searched online and could only find one other rendition of a Nashville Hot Pheasant Sandwich. As amazing as Nashville Hot sandwiches are I would’ve thought upland hunters would’ve been all over themselves to make something like this, but they weren’t!

This recipe is a little labor inducive, but that is the case with marinating and frying anything. Also, I just use this Coleslaw Recipe. It is creamy and balances the heat in the sandwich. Honestly it is the best coleslaw recipe I have found, and I don’t really want to mess up a good thing lol. I half it when making this sandwich recipe and make it in advance so it can flavor up in the fridge.

I hope you guys enjoy my wild game take on this delicious Southern dish!

  • 1 T Garlic Powder
  • 1 tsp Paprika
  • 1 tsp Black Pepper
  • 1 tsp Kosher Salt

Marinade:

  • 1/4 C Pickle Brine I use Grillo’s Dill Pickle Chips Brine

Egg Mixture:

  • 2 Large Eggs
  • 1 C Buttermilk

Instructions

Coleslaw Instructions:

  • If coleslaw is desired, make prior to pheasant breasts so it can be marinating in the fridge.

Marinade Instructions:

  • Pat dry pheasant breasts and remove any remaining feathers.
  • Place in a gallon Ziplock bag or bowl. Add marinade mixture to bag and toss breasts mixing evenly.

  • Cover with Saran Wrap if using a bowl or tightly seal the bag and place in fridge to marinate 2-4 hours.
  • After breasts are done marinating, remove from refrigerator and place them in a bowl saving the marinade.

Flour and Egg Mixture Instructions:

  • Using a shallow bowl (like a pie dish), combine egg mixture carefully adding any excess marinade to the dish. Stir well.
  • In another shallow bowl, combine flour mixture.
  • Heat oil to 300 degrees (I use a deep fryer, but if you have a frying thermometer, a cast iron or any heavy duty deep enough pan will work).
  • Take a pheasant breast, letting excess marinade drip back into bowl, toss in flour mixture until thoroughly coated.
  • Next, carefully toss breast in egg mixture again allowing excess mixture to drip back into dish.
  • Return back to flour mixture and coat evenly and place on rack/plate. Repeat process with each breast. Let rest for 5-10 minutes to allow coating to dry a bit and set.

Sauce Instructions:

  • While resting, make the sauce.
  • Place butter in a sauce pan and heat until melted over medium-high heat.
  • Whisk in remaining seasoning. Once thoroughly mixed remove from heat, but keep sauce warm as to not let it coagulate.

Sandwich Instructions:

  • Fry each piece until golden, crispy, and fully cooked. This is approximately 3 minutes each side.
  • Depending on size of fryer/pan, this may need to be done in rounds. When you flip the breasts, be careful to keep breading attached.
  • While breasts are cooking, spread butter on the insides of the Hawaiian buns. Toast Hawaiian buns in a pan over high heat until golden brown (1-2 minutes).
  • Mix mayo and hot sauce.
  • Once pheasant breasts are cooked, place on a plate or rack.
  • Brush/toss with seasoned butter sauce mixture thoroughly. This is what gives the breasts the Nashville kick.
  • Assemble your sandwich with buns, breasts, coleslaw/iceberg lettuce, pickles, and Mayo mixture. Enjoy!
