Ingredients

• 1 pound ground venison
• 0.5 pound ground pork
• 1 tablespoon brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon ground sage
• 0.5 teaspoon paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
• 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 tablespoon maple syrup (optional)
• 1 tablespoon oil or butter

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground venison and ground pork. The ground pork helps add fat and moisture to the lean venison.

Step 2

Add the brown sugar, salt, black pepper, ground sage, paprika, crushed red pepper flakes, garlic powder, and onion powder to the bowl.

Step 3

If desired, add the maple syrup for a touch of sweetness.

Step 4

Use your hands or a sturdy spatula to mix the meat and spices thoroughly until well combined. Do not overmix to keep the sausage tender.

Step 5

Divide the sausage mixture into 8-10 equal portions and shape them into patties about 3 inches in diameter.

Step 6

Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the oil or butter.

Step 7

Once the skillet is hot, place the sausage patties in the pan, making sure not to overcrowd them.

Step 8

Cook the patties for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and browned. The internal temperature should reach 160°F (71°C).

Step 9

Remove the cooked patties from the skillet and let them rest on a paper towel-lined plate for 1-2 minutes before serving.

Step 10

Serve immediately as a hearty breakfast side dish or freeze for later use.
