Venison Potato Sausage?

I make potato sausage with a group of people using 60/40 beef pork ratio. Next time I go up to make sausage I am using venison instead of beef. Should I up the ratio of pork when mixing in venison instead of beef?

 

Generally yes.
I assume 85/15 beef to beef fat.

So if your substituting venison for the beef you looking at almost 100 lean.

Add the 15% fat either via pork or beef fat.

For example a recipe calls for 50/50 of pork beef shoulder.
If i were to substitute venison it would be 50% pork/ 35% venison and 15% fat ( either or will work)

Honestly for most things you can also just up the pork content.
So 65/35 pork to venison

 

Thanks glad I asked, I get my ground venison about 30% pork added, I will just add another pound or so of ground pork to the batch. What kind of onions do you prefer, I just used yellow onions.

 

I think that would be fine. White or yellow onions yes

 

I also use the same mix to make patties, makes for a great burger on the grill.

 

I am lucky to have my own grinder, so I leave everything basically whole until I am ready to use it.

I keep beef and pork fat on hand and mix it as I need it depending on what I am making.
