Tips:

Choose the right venison. For burgers, use ground venison that is 80% lean and 20% fat. For chili, you can use ground venison that is 90% lean and 10% fat.
Season the venison well. Venison is a lean meat, so it needs to be seasoned well to avoid being bland. Use a variety of herbs and spices, such as garlic, onion, salt, pepper, and chili powder.
Cook the venison properly. Venison should be cooked to an internal temperature of 160 degrees Fahrenheit for medium-rare, 165 degrees Fahrenheit for medium, and 170 degrees Fahrenheit for well-done. Overcooking venison will make it tough and dry.
