Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground venison
- 0.5 pound ground pork
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon ground sage
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup (optional)
- 1 tablespoon oil or butter
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground venison and ground pork. The ground pork helps add fat and moisture to the lean venison.
Add the brown sugar, salt, black pepper, ground sage, paprika, crushed red pepper flakes, garlic powder, and onion powder to the bowl.
If desired, add the maple syrup for a touch of sweetness.
Use your hands or a sturdy spatula to mix the meat and spices thoroughly until well combined. Do not overmix to keep the sausage tender.
Divide the sausage mixture into 8-10 equal portions and shape them into patties about 3 inches in diameter.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the oil or butter.
Once the skillet is hot, place the sausage patties in the pan, making sure not to overcrowd them.
Cook the patties for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and browned. The internal temperature should reach 160°F (71°C).
Remove the cooked patties from the skillet and let them rest on a paper towel-lined plate for 1-2 minutes before serving.
Serve immediately as a hearty breakfast side dish or freeze for later use.
