Making your own breakfast sausage patties is super economical and delicious! Use a pound of venison or make enough for a crowd.

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb ground venison or use any ground wild game
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • ¼ teaspoons garlic powder
  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon dried minced onion or 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • ¼ teaspoon nutmeg see notes
  • ½ teaspoon ground sage
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup or 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar

Instructions
 

  • In a bowl, weigh out your ground venison. Sprinkle all powdered seasonings on top. Mix in well. Drizzle maple syrup and apple cider vinegar over top and mix well.
  • Divide up into balls and flatten into patties. Sausage meat does best if it sits at least an hour before you use it, for flavours to combine.
  • Cook in a skillet over medium heat, flipping once until cooked through.

Notes

  • I grate my own nutmeg! If you’re buying pre powdered, double it, as it's not as strong tasting as fresh grated.
  • To freeze, I simply stack patties up with parchment in between and place in baggies. Done! We fry from frozen - just may want a slightly lower heat so they don't burn before the middle cooks through.
