Goose sausage feedback

[jolemons]

I'm wondering about mixing goose breast meat in with deer and elk trim for sausage recipes. Anyone ever tried it and have feedback to offer? I don't really care for goose by itself and am trying to find good ways to use the breast meat.

I've never heard of anyone mixing it with deer/elk. It's ok mixed with pork. Every time I have had it the texture seemed kind of weird.

Pulled bbq sandwiches have been our primary use for a few years

Personally I would not mix it with deer and elk. I would mix with pork butt or a heavy mix of pork fat, 30%.

I personally just eat it sliced with mashed potatoes and gravy. Slow-cooked goose is tasty.

I might mix it with duck fat if I wanted to make sausage from it. I would not mix it with other meat.

I do venison sausage every year. Variety of recipes, most get some pork and or fat addition.

Last year a buddy brought a bunch of duck and goose and while we didn't mix it with venison, we did dedicated fowl batches on all recipes everything turned out fine and was not a particularly noticeable difference to me from the venison versions. I think he did do mostly spicy and/or smoked recipes because he was worried about the flavor.

My $.02 is that once it's ground and spiced most things are fine.

I the past I have done goose jerky that has been very good.

I’ve done some summer sausage with a 50/50 mix of goose and pork loin. Turned out great.

As was said....it makes great jerky.

One season about 15 years back, I killed over 75 honkers. We ran out of ways to fix them and neighbors saw me coming with a goose or 2 and wouldn't answer the door. They do make good dog food.

I have tried a lot different things with geese..keep coming back to the pastrami recipe.
