Deer sausage doesn’t taste like sausage

[AntlerCollector]

order from allied kenco if you don't want to mix it yourself.

they have everything you could want for processing.

They are the best. I’ve been using them for 20 years I think.

I have found that those yankee made seasoning blends sold at big box stores need more than one package when it just calls for one. They eat bland foods up there. The same can be said for the dry jerky seasoning packages. I'd buy from a seasoning company like Reo or AC Legg direct or Amazon if you can

I season mine to my taste. Which is usually well beyond what the instructions say.

Back up :
Allied is now using Leggs seasoning so it must be danged good! At least with maple anyway.

Offended by the Yankee

I have had sausage from 2 different processors this year and both were bland at best. Guess seasoning is expensive now days...

I agree. I have a friend that grew up in Connecticut and moved to Texas when he was about 30. He brought a few things to work for us to eat and almost no flavor. Not enough salt, black pepper and complained about everything being too hot /spicy. I can`t imagine only eating bland / milk toast tasting foods all my life.

Ifyou are already doing your own processing, then you could easily make your own spice blends and cures.

For those of y'all using AC Legg pre-mixed seasonings a couple of Qs:

Favorite flavor?
Ratio of pork/venison?

[Joe H]

Use legs number 6 or number 10. 10 has a little more kick but both are good. We make 60 pork and 40 deer percentage wise

Don't use already mix flavors y'all. This way you have no control over the end results. Buy the ingredients you want and mix them yourself.

I used the maple mix from Cabelas and it just taste like ground meat, not sure what did I do wrong. Was I supposed to add anything else to make it “breakfast sausage”?

Here: INGREDIENTS

• 3½ lbs. venison
• 1½ lb. pork fatback
• 3 tbsp. kosher salt
• 3 tbsp. fresh sage, finely chopped
• 1 tbsp. fresh thyme leaves
• 4 garlic cloves, minced
• 2 tsp. black pepper
• ½ tsp. red pepper flakes
• 2 tsp. brown sugar
• ¼ tsp. ground cloves
• ½ cup ice cold liquid (optional)

This is sausage has an 70/30 ratio of venison to pork fat and yields 5 pounds. For a leaner sausage with an 80/20 ratio, use 4 pounds of venison, and 1 pound of pork fat.

Im no expert but Ive been using Legg#10 for the last few years with a little extra red pepper added and its good stuff. I just use straight wild pork.

Look up sausage recipes from mesquite some thing or other, here in the recipes section. Pretty **** good, you can always add or subtract to your liking. He has some really good ones.
