Anyone have good breakfast sausage recipes for venison? Or a brand you have used and enjoy? Thanks in advance. Sent from my iPhone using Bowhunting.com Forums
I make it quite a bit. A very simple way: Ingredients: Deer grind, 18% pork suet, whatever pork breakfast sausage seasoning you prefer. I like to do about 20 to 25 lbs batches. How: I grind the deer meat the first time through my grinder with the biggest die it came with installed. Add in suet here and there to try to get even spread. I have the suet cut into about 1" wide, 3" long strips. After all of it is ground together the first time I add the seasoning and hand mix it really well. I then let it sit for about 10 minutes so most of the seasoning dissolves, and then hand mix well one more time. I then install the smallest die my grinder came with. It produces burger about like what you buy in the store. Run all the burger through the grinder again. It feeds pretty slow this second time. It feeds a bit better if you add some moisture. I like to put a handful of the first run burger on the grinder tray and hit it with a couple spritz's of water from a spray bottle before pushing it down the feed tube. After it is all ground, wrap up in whatever size packages you prefer.
75/25 venison to pork fat, grind though a 3/8 plate, grind through 1/4 plate, salt, black pepper, ground sage, red peper flakes, a splash of ice water...mix it then make patties and vacuum seal it or use freezer wrap. An even better mix ratio is 3, 2, 1. Three pounds venison, two pounds pork shoulder, one pound pork fat back. that will work for great for many pork based/ game sausage recipes.
I used this seasoning kit from frisco spices. They have a few different flavors though. https://friscospices.com/products/breakfast-sausage-old-style?_pos=3&_sid=0070db33a&_ss=r Had great results! I Mixed venison and pork shoulder 50/50 if I recall correctly. Each kit is enough for a 25# batch.
I used the LEM breakfast kit. I make 5# batches so it's 4# venison and 1# bacon through the grinder. I also used the LEM kit for brats and added some high temp cheddar to the mix. Smoked on a GMG Davy Crockett.
Yep, We've used it many times. But, if you want to get away from all the salt and preservatives......Make your own. Google. Tons of recipes. Even knock off Jimmy Deans recipes. I have to watch my salt. Borderline high blood pressure. Make all of ours from scratch.
Adkins country sausage seasoning made some good breakfast sausage for me! 25% pork, I used fatty butts rather than just fat Sent from my iPhone using Bowhunting.com Forums
bringing back an older thread I made breakfast sausage using LEM pre made mix I made patties and added a little powered milk as a binder main complaint is the mix isn't strong enough and lacks flavor, just too mild. I did 50/50 deer pork They are better grilled than cooked on the stove, they were great for leftovers to warm up over a heater while ice fishing
Yeah, these guys make it too complicated. Just grind up pork butts. You already have the grinder out for the venison. Mix it 50/50 venison/pork. The fat content is fine. Find a pre-mix or recipe you like. That takes some trial and error. Everyone's palate is different.
I've made this one before...pretty good, but the wife liked less garlic and I may swap the sugar/syrup for something else next time I make it,as my wife is generally cooking/eating keto... https://www.themeateater.com/cook/recipes/the-only-venison-breakfast-sausage-recipe-you-need
