Grilled Venison Burgers

Hey there,

Since we have an abundant supply of ground deer meat here, (venison), I thought I'd share a couple of recipes.

Grilled Venison Burgers 1

The first one is the one I served to the guys. I used about 

4# ground deer 
4 eggs 
2 packets of onion soup mix 
2 cups of bread crumbs/oats 
1/2 cup sour cream  
1/2 cup cooking oil 

Mix the ingredients well and form them into patties on baking sheets that have been sprayed with cooking oil spray. Freeze them until they are nearly solid (or completely frozen if for later use.)  

Grill the burgers over medium high heat until just done. Do not over cook. The favorite combination tonight with the burgers was pepper jack and jalapenos. This made 16 burgers.

Venison Burgers 2 (Gluten Free option )

The second burger combination I did was gluten-free, but it doesn't have to be*.
Combine:

1# of ground deer meat, about 
8 ounces of fresh mushrooms, finely chopped
 2 tablespoons of ground flax seed meal* 
2/3 cup deer (beef) broth (or water)
 1/3 cup olive oil, about 1/2 cup ground corn tortillas* 
1 tablespoon dried chopped onion 
1 1/2 teaspoons Adobo seasoning (or seasoning salt) 
1 teaspoon or so of sea salt 

Mix the ingredients well and form them into patties on baking sheets that have been sprayed with cooking oil spray. Freeze them until they are nearly solid (or completely frozen if for later use.)  Grill the burgers over medium high heat until just done. Do not over cook. This made 5 burgers. 

*If you don't want them to be gluten and egg free, just replace the tortilla crumbs with bread crumbs or oats, and replace the flax with 2 eggs.

Blessings,
Sharron
