Deer Breakfast Sausage

Wake up and smell the sausage! Deer breakfast sausage, that is. This sausage is a healthy alternative to pure pork sausage. It's leaner and meaner, but still tastes great.

Deer Breakfast Sausage - the Recipe

This is a really nice recipe for breakfast sausage. Very simple and really tasty. It's best if you trim all the fat off of the venison before it's ground. Some venison suet has a strong flavor that just doesn't agree with some people. For this breakfast of champions recipe, you need...

1 pound ground deer meat
1 pound ground pork
2 teaspoons ground sage
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper

Put the pork and the venison into a large bowl and mix it up. Combine the spices and seasonings, then sprinkle the mixture over the meat. Work the seasonings into the meat with your hands. Fun, isn't it?

Form the meat into a roll, wrap in foil or plastic, and refrigerate for at least 24 hours. Now you can hack off a slice or two and fry it up just like it were some Jimmy Dean sausage.

If you like, you can forget the rolling and wrapping part, and just shape it into loosely formed patties and fry 'em up. Don't forget that double side of hash browns and eggs over easy. I'm hungry!
