A good while back Mr. Paul Vanlandingham (RIP Mr. V) posted a recipe for making 1 pound batches of venison sausage from ground deer meat you might have in the freezer. I am unable to find it. If it is still here could someone please post a link or if not could someone repost it? Thanks in advance for any help

I think this is the reply in the topic/thread that Zonie linked to that you may be looking for,

"Venison Sausage

Per 1 lb. of meat:

(You can substitute any meat, but this was originally designed to use with venison)

1 Tbsp. Morton's Tender Quick (curing salt)
1/2 tsp. Mustard Seed
1/2 tsp. Garlic Powder
1/2 tsp. Coarse pepper
3/4 Tsp. Liquid Smoke
1/4 cup Water

Directions:

Mix thorough all the meat and ingredients in a large bowl. The meat will begin turning gray from the salt and liquid smoke, which is chemically cooking the meat. Don't despare. This makes a mild summer sausage. You can add to, or delete any spice listed above, to your taste. You can use different spices, with, or in substitution for, any of the spices listed above.

Use Plastic wrap to make the sausage, by rolling the meat into the size sausage you want. Hold the ends in both hands and spin the sausage to squeeze out air, and air pockets in the sausage. Put the sausages on a baking sheet, and put them in your refrigerator for a minimum of 24 hours, turning the sausages over every 12 hours, to make sure that the salt and liquid smoke reach all parts of the sausage .

Remove from the refrigerator any time after 24 hours. Take off the plastic wrap. Re wrap the sausages in foil, and put them back on the baking sheet. Bake 45 minutes at 300 degrees F. then turn the sausages over and bake them aother 45 minutes, to evenly cook the sausages through.

Remove the sausages from the oven and thow them in a sink, running cold water over them to cool them down quickly. Then remove the foil and disgard. Wash all the extra salt and fat that is crusted on the outside of the sausage. Set them aside on paper towels to dry. The sausage will have a nice solid texture and a red color to them, depending on what meat you use.

To store, re-wrap in plastic wrap and either freeze or refrigerate. I put the sausages that go into the freezer in a separate ziplock bag, to help prevent freezer burn.

The benefit of this recipe is that it can be expanded to handle as much sausage as you want, you don't have to have or use a sausage press, and you don't use pig intestines, which can be expensive, to make this sausage. You don't have to make all the sausage up at once. You can freeze the meats you want to make sausage out of, then thaw them out when you want to make the sausage, and keep the quantities small for use, and storage.
