Since we have an abundant supply of the ground deer (venison) meat, I thought I'd share a couple of recipes I came up with today.
The first venison burger recipe is the one I served to the guys. It is not gluten or egg free, but can easily be made so.* I used about 4# of the ground deer, 4 eggs*, 2 packets of onion soup mix, about 2 cups of bread crumbs/oats*, about 1/2 cup sour cream and 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), then 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. *To make this gluten free, use ground tortillas instead of the bread/oats or gluten free oats, but those are very pricey, (at least for me!) Also, omit the eggs and use 1/4 cup ground flax plus 3/4 cup water or broth.
The second venison burger combination I did was gluten-free and egg-free, but it doesn't have to be. I used 1# of ground deer meat, about 8 ounces of fresh mushrooms (about a cup, chopped), 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), then 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.
Enjoy!
PS: I thought of a couple of things this morning: If you don't like mushrooms, or don't have access to any, there are several other options that you could use. You could use some chopped spinach, fresh onions, shredded zucchini, shredded carrots or broccoli stem. The idea is to get moisture in there -- and yumminess, too :)
