HOW TO MAKE DEER SAUSAGE PATTIES RECIPES

Steps:

• On the venison, make sure the fat, ligaments and tissues are all trimmed from the meat. Grind together the venison, pork meat and onion. Do not use to lean a pork meat; fat is needed to keep the sausage moist when cooking.
• Season with salt, peppers and lemon juice.
• Chop the onion tops and add to the sausage mixture. Put into casings or fry as patties or meatballs. This freezes nicely. Use in gumbos, stews, jambalaya, rice and gravy or add sage spice in your meat mixture and use as a breakfast sausage. See this recipe on our website or cookbook: Venison Sausage Stuffed Coq au Vin (Chicken with Wine) If doing the entire ten pounds as breakfast sausage add 1/2 ounce of sage, or more or less to taste.

Steps:

• In a medium mixing bowl, combine all ingredients (except for the oil) and mix together using your hands until well combined.
• Divide the sausage into 1 inch balls and then pat down until they are about 2 inch disks. Transfer to a sheet pan lined with parchment paper until you complete shaping all of the pieces of sausage into disks.
• In a large cast iron skillet or heavy bottomed pan, drizzle oil and bring to MEDIUM to MEDIUM-HIGH heat. Once the oil is hot, transfer a few sausage patties at a time into the pan and cook for about 2-3 minutes or until the bottom has browned. Flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes. Both sides should be browned but not burnt and cooked through. Transfer to serving dish and cook the remaining sausage patties.
