We really like this recipe. If you like milder sausage cut back on the cayenne and red pepper. If you want a fattier sausage add more pork and less venison. Hope you like this as much as we do.

  • Choose high-quality venison: Opt for venison that is fresh, lean, and has a mild flavor. This will ensure the best possible taste for your homemade sausage.
  • Grind the venison properly: Use a meat grinder with a coarse grinding plate to achieve the right texture for Italian sausage. Avoid over-grinding, as this can result in a mushy sausage.
  • Use a variety of seasonings: Italian sausage is typically seasoned with a combination of herbs and spices. Common ingredients include fennel, garlic, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes. Experiment with different combinations to find your preferred flavor profile.
  • Mix the ingredients thoroughly: Ensure that the venison, seasonings, and any additional ingredients are evenly mixed together. This will help to distribute the flavors throughout the sausage.
  • Stuff the sausage casings properly: Use a sausage stuffer or a piping bag to stuff the sausage casings. Avoid over-stuffing the casings, as this can cause them to burst during cooking.
  • Cook the sausage thoroughly: Cook the sausage according to the recipe instructions. This may involve pan-frying, grilling, or baking the sausage. Make sure that the sausage reaches an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C) before consuming.
