Recipe FAQs and Notes

Will any sausage work with venison?

We use ground pork sausage, but any ground sausage should also work because the goal is adding the necessary fat component to make venison sausage.

Do I have to add sausage to the venison?

Yes, venison alone does not have enough fat content. Combining venison with a ground pork, beef, or lamb sausage will increase the fat and salt content, creating a delicious sausage result.

Recipe notes

• For a sweet breakfast sausage, add 1 cup of pure maple syrup to the sausage mixture.
