Time P3DT8h20m

Yield 25

Number Of Ingredients 6

5 pounds ground venison
2 tablespoons sugar-based curing mixture (such as Morton® Tender Quick®)
2 teaspoons mustard seed
2 ½ teaspoons garlic salt
2 ½ teaspoons ground black pepper
1 teaspoon liquid smoke flavoring

Steps:

  • Place the venison in a large mixing bowl. Sprinkle with the curing mixture, mustard seed, garlic salt, pepper, and liquid smoke. Mix well with your hands until the mixture is evenly blended and begins to stick together, about 2 minutes.
  • Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 3 days, mixing well each day.
  • Preheat an oven to 200 degrees F (95 degrees C).
  • Divide the mixture into 5 one-pound logs, place onto a broiler pan, and place a sheet of aluminum foil on top to cover.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until the logs are no longer pink in the center, and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center reads 160 degrees F (70 degrees C), 6 to 8 hours. Turn the meat once or twice during cooking. Allow to cool before slicing thinly and serving.

VENISON SUMMER SAUSAGE

This is an excellent recipe for "what to do with all that deer meat" and is also good done with only ground beef, as many ranchers end up with alot of hamburger after the steaks are gone. The 1# of hamburger is necessary as venison, if ground lean, tends to be very dry. I can't keep this stuff in the house--my family loves it and it is very low fat snack. I got this from a former president of the ND Cattlewomen.
