The Best Breakfast Venison Sausage Recipe

This is our favorite Breakfast Venison Sausage Recipe when we want to turn some deer meat into breakfast or brunch.

We've all heard that old saying, You don’t want to see how the sausage is made. I don't agree with that. I think we should all know how sausage is made, and we should all try making it ourselves at least once. Making sausages with your wild game can be a great way to enjoy the meat you bring home. It’s also a great way to share wild game with friends and family who might not be familiar with it, or reluctant to try it. This Breakfast Venison Sausage Recipe is an easy way to get you started before tackling more difficult varieties. And it's damn delicious!

COLD MILK VS. POWDERED MILK IN SAUSAGE

You'll notice I use cold milk for this recipe. In general, a perishable food like milk should not sit out of the refrigerator for longer than an hour if it's pretty warm in the space where you are making the sausage. This is why most people use powdered milk and ice water as both a binder and to add moisture to your sausage. But because this recipe uses already ground venison and pork, the process is quick, and it's acceptable to use in this case. But in general, if you are grinding the sausage at the same time you are making this recipe, I recommend using powdered milk.

HOW TO MAKE THIS BREAKFAST VENISON SAUSAGE RECIPE

This recipe makes 10 pounds of sausage.

1. In a large bowl, combine all ingredients. Mix well, using your hands, but do not overwork the meat mixture.

2. I like to form this breakfast sausage into small patties. But you can also shape into bulk packages or stuff in links. Cook within 5 days or freeze.

3. When ready, cook to an internal temperature of at least 145 degrees F. using an instant-read meat thermometer.
