Joe Eppele - Cooking the Kill Ep 2

With grilling season being well underway I figured I would share our favorite wild game burger recipe to help you make the most of that leftover ground meat in your freezers. Ingredients: •2-2.5lbs thawed game meat •2 eggs •1/8-1/4 cup of your favorite spice mix •1/4 cup bread crumbs •garden chives or chopped onions The Cook: Step 1: Separate egg yolks from whites and add yolks to the ground meat (Save egg whites for later). Step 2: Add all ingredients into the bowl and mix until consistent texture. Step 3: If consistency is too dry add egg whites back into mixture. (Goal is an easily shapable burger patty) Step 4: Shape burgers and set in fridge to allow meat to bind. Step 5: Grill burgers at medium high - high heat until outside gets a slight crust on each side. Add cheese if desired (you know you want to!). Step 6: Enjoy with your favorite summer ale! Joe's Note: If you are using bear meat cook low and slow and please use a thermometer and ensure all burgers reach over 165°F
