How to Make Venison Sausage
Fresh Venison Sausage Recipes
These recipes cover fresh sausage. Meaning the kind you cook right away without curing or smoking. From breakfast patties to Italian style, they use the proper venison and fat blend for moisture and seasoned for maximum flavor. No curing salts or smoking, just straightforward sausage you can grill, pan-fry, or freeze for later.
quick Cured and Smoked Venison Sausage Recipes
These sausages go beyond fresh by adding smoke and/or a quick cure. The right amount of curing salt allows you to cook with low heat for longer periods of time. Perfect for summer sausage, snack sticks, or salami-style recipes that keep longer and pack well for short hunting trips.
