Venison Bacon Burger Recipe

It’s almost hunting season for many places around the country, and you should know what that means! Venison.

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon minced garlic
2 shallots, minced
2 pounds ground venison
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
salt and pepper to taste

6 hamburger buns

• Cook bacon in a skillet over medium heat until browned and crispy.

• When cool, mix in venison, Worcestershire sauce, parsley, salt, pepper, and egg until evenly combined.

The venison burgers go great on wheat or deli buns with a touch of mayo, some lettuce, tomato, onion and mustard.
