Howdy folks, and thanks for stopping by the website! We happened to have a little deer meat left and wanted to share a recipe that I have fond memories of from my childhood: Deer sausage.

This recipe is so simple and so good. Grind the meat, mix in the spices, cook, and eat. The biggest flavor in this sausage besides the meat is sage. The flavor and aroma of the sage just takes this sausage over the top and makes it better than anything you can get from a grocery store.

  • Make sure all the deer fat is trimmed off. Deer fat is not tasty.
  • Get a pork shoulder or pork butt roast with lots of marbled fat and grind it with the deer meat.
  • Use about 2 lbs deer meat and 2 lbs pork for the right fat content.
  • Using gloves, mix the spices in thoroughly.
  • Form into patties. If you aren’t using gloves, get your hands a little wet so the sausage won’t stick to you so much.
  • Cook in a little oil.

That’s it! Form into patties and cook it or scramble it up with some eggs. Let me tell you: a breakfast burrito with homemade sausage is at a whole new flavor level.

Three browned sausage patties cooking in a well-seasoned black cast iron skillet, a thin metal spatula is in the act of flipping one of the sausage patties. Steam can be seen rising from the skillet.
