Venison Burger...what do you do with it?

[WrstMuleHntr]

Personally, I eat it.

Like others have said, anything we do with ground beef, we also do with ground deer. Half our family of 6 likes deer and the other half thinks that they do not. So on ground meat night we pull out 1 lb of each and cook each separately. Patty melts, tacos, meatballs...all prepped and cooked the same whether it is beef or deer. Just cooked venison meatballs for a potluck today!

Other than doing stuff like Snack Sticks or Summer sausage I don't care much for the Burger..and I am meaning white tail deer.
I have never really cared for it and it always seems to leave a gamey after taste to me.
Love it in Snack sticks.
But I have probably 40 lbs of burger and I would like to get some other ideas from you all and what you do with it?
I have tried it in Chilli and spaghetti but don't care for it there either.
What do you all do with it? Recipes etc

There is a old german sausage shop an hour or so from me. Same spot, same family since 1903. They take deboned game meat and besides the normal sticks and such they make old world bratwurst, polish, italian, breakfast, keilbasa, and others. I trust them to do what I cant and make my lesser cuts into edible art. I dont even need to grind it first, but they do take ground. Find a shop like that and let them help. Thank you Wurst Kitchen. Salivating thinking about it.

We don't eat a ton of grind in my house so this is what I usually do with it. Comes out great!

Also a lot of great Mediterranean and middle eastern recipes that call for ground meat that would be great. Kefta kebabs and Greek style meatballs are two of our favorites.

Heck ya. Kofta kabobs from elk, deer, whatever are great. Especially done on a charcoal grill .

What’s your aging process? How long do you hang it and and what temperature ? Or do you cut it immediately and/or wet age it ?

Like others have said, I usually do whitetail in taco meat, spaghetti, etc., basically anything that has seasoning or sauce that will flavor it so the wife will eat it.

Can’t seem to get her to eat the mule deer I brought back last year, so I’ve been smoking some jerky and that seems to be a good option as well. I prefer that route rather than a dehydrator.
