Deer Summer Sausage Recipes

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.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, mix together the ground venison and pork sausage. Season with mustard powder, mustard seed, liquid smoke, garlic powder, onion salt, and meat tenderizer. Mix in just enough water to make the mixture sticky. Cover, and refrigerate for three days, mixing once a day.
• On the fourth day, preheat the oven to 160 degrees F (70 degrees C). Form the mixture into 2 inch rolls, and place them on a baking sheet.
• Bake for 6 hours in the preheated oven, until firm and cooked through. Wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate until needed.

Steps:

• Mix all together thoroughly.
• Form into 2-21/2" logs about 8" long.
• Pack tightly as possible.
• Wrap in aluminum foil, shiny side inches.
• Refrigerate for 24 hours.
• Take out, turn over and pierce foil several times with a fork.
• Bake on a sprayed broiler rack over broiler pan at 325°F for 1 1/2 hour.
• Unwrap and remove to rack to finish dripping.
• Rewrap and refrigerate or freeze.

Steps:

• Mix all ingredients thoroughly in a glass or plastic bowl. Cover and let stand in refrigerator overnight. Make into a roll about 2 inches thick, wrap in aluminum foil. Punch small holes around foil to allow mixture to drain during cooking. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place sausage on a rack in foil lined pan and bake for 1 hour. Allow to drain and cool slightly. Remove sausage and wrap in paper towels to remove excess liquid. Wrap in another sheet of aluminum foil and allow to cool before slicing. Serve cold or at room temperature.
