Recipe: Sunrise Venison Breakfast Sausage

Preparation & Cooking Time:

• Preparation Time: 20 minutes
• Cooking Time: 15 minutes
• Total Time: 35 minutes

Number of Servings:

• Servings: 4
• Serving Size: 2 patties per person

Ingredients:

• 1 pound ground venison
• 1/2 pound ground pork (optional, for added moisture and flavor)
• 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
• 1/2 teaspoon ground sage
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
• 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (for frying)

Step-by-Step Directions:

1. Mix the Meat: In a large bowl, combine the ground venison and pork. Add maple syrup, salt, black pepper, crushed red pepper flakes, sage, garlic powder, onion powder, nutmeg, and allspice. Mix well with your hands until all spices are evenly incorporated into the meat.
2. Form Patties: Divide the mixture into 8 equal parts and form each into a patty approximately 3 inches in diameter.
3. Preheat the Skillet: Heat a large skillet over medium heat and melt the butter. Once the butter is hot and bubbling, place the sausage patties in the skillet without overcrowding (cook in batches if necessary).
4. Cook the Sausage: Cook each patty for about 6-7 minutes per side until they’re golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C). For best results, avoid pressing down on the patties as they cook.
5. Serve: Remove the patties from the skillet and let them drain on a paper towel-lined plate. Serve hot with your favorite breakfast sides like scrambled eggs and toast.
