Quail Supreme recipe

Quail birds in brown gravy

Quail, green peas and potato mash

The fun part of the Quail Supreme occasion involved taking a bird dog into the woods and conducting a hunt for pen-raised quail. No bird dog? Don't worry, farm-raised quail are quite similar and can be purchased at your grocery store!
