I was given a processed deer by a friend. Most of it was ground and I believe it may have some pork fat added. Our family is a big fan of jerky and if I had processed the deer myself I would not have ground much and probably made jerky with our dehydrator.
I just made a batch of jerky combining a couple of elements from recipes I found online. Frankly it did not turn out the best and I ended up putting the jerky on my Traeger smoker for a couple hours and sprinkled on some additional spice. It is better now, but still now as good as our previous batches.
Now the question, do you have a good recipe using ground venison or suggestions? We like a smokey jerky and generally something that is spicy.
I did use tender quick and allowed the meat to cure for a couple of days in the refrigerator.
I still have about 30-40 lbs of ground venison. Brats are also on our list of possible uses.
