Grilled Spicy Venison Burger-postThis spice blend is so tasty, and adds such a great flavor to any burger. And if you’re like me, I love venison for the fact that it’s so lean, and would choose venison over beef any day!

This recipe is quick and easy to make. It just doesn’t get any easier than this.

Grilled Spicy Venison Burger

Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground venison
  • Spice Blend
  • 1 teaspoon minced onions
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon lemon pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika

Preparation

  1. Mix the spice blend together in a small bowl, then mix the blended spices into the ground venison. Form 4 or 5 patties.
  2. Get a medium hot grill going. Place the burgers directly over the fire. These will only take a few minutes per side. You don't want to over cook it, as venison is so lean, it will dry out quickly.

Crispy Oven Fried Chicken-postThis is a recipe my wife hasn’t made in years. This is taken from an old cookbook she’s had for years, the Pillsbury Family Cookbook (1979 edition).

Just take a look at the list of ingredients, how can you go wrong with all those great flavors in there? This turned out very tasty. In fact, now that my wife made it, I’ll definitely be requesting it again!

Crispy Oven Fried Chicken

Ingredients

  • 2 1/2 to 3 lb. frying chicken. cut up or quartered
  • 1/2 cup margarine or butter
  • 1 garlic clove, crushed or minced
  • 1 cup dry bread crumbs
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped almonds (I used pecans)
  • 2 tablespoons chopped parsley
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon thyme or poultry seasoning
  • 1/8 teaspoon pepper

Preparation

  1. Heat the oven to 400° F.
  2. In a 13 x 9 inch pan, melt margarine or butter with garlic. In a medium bowl or shallow pan, combine bread crumbs, cheese, almonds, parsley, salt, thyme, and pepper; mix well.
  3. Dip chicken in garlic butter; coat with crumb mixture. Place skin side up in pan containing the garlic butter. Bake uncovered at 400° F. about 1 hour or until tender, basting occasionally with pan drippings.

Grilled Sausage Skewers

Sausage Skewers-postOne of my favorite meats for grilling has always been sausage. I used one of my favorites for these skewers, but I had to order them from a company in Texas and have them shipped to me here in Wisconsin. I’m using the Meyers Elgin garlic links.

You can certainly use your own favorite brand sausage of course, but just thought I’d mention the kind I used. The good thing about sausage is it’s ready to go. The seasoning is already in there, so no need to spice or marinate.

You can also mix things up by using different veggies, but I think the onion and bell pepper added a nice bit of flavoring into the sausage as it cooked on the grill.

Grilled Sausage Skewers

Ingredients

  • 3 sausage links (Meyers brand or your favorite)
  • Pearl onions
  • Bell pepper

Preparation

  1. Cut the sausage links in half lengthwise, then into 2 inch pieces and set aside.
  2. Cut up the bell pepper into about 2" square pieces and set aside.
  3. Skewer the sausage pieces, bell pepper pieces and pearl onions onto metal or wooden skewers, alternating the three ingredients. (Note: be sure to soak the skewers for about a half an hour if using wooden skewers).
  4. Get a medium hot grill going and place the prepared skewers on the grill directly over the fire. Turn frequently until done to your liking. This should take approximately 5 minutes.

Grilled Strawberry Lime Turkey Burger-postMy wife has done it again with her creative mind! I don’t know how she comes up with some of the combinations of flavors and food types, but she sure does come up with some winners!

It’s basically a complete meal all grilled up together! I think it’s the cilantro that puts it all together for me, but you can definitely taste the strawberry when you come across one in a bite!

I think you should definitely give this one a shot!

Grilled Strawberry Lime Turkey Burger

Ingredients

  • 1 lb. ground turkey (or chicken)
  • 1/2 cup fresh strawberries, cut into small pieces
  • 1/3 cup fresh, chopped cilantro
  • 1/4 cup grated lime peel
  • Coating
  • 1 1/2 cups finely ground lime tortilla chips (used Tostitos Hint of Lime)

Preparation

  1. Mix ground turkey or chicken with the strawberries, cilantro, and lime peel.
  2. Form into patties and bread with the ground up lime tortilla chips.
  3. Get a medium hot grill going and place directly over the fire. Watch them closely, as the chips tend to burn if the fire is too hot. These should only take about 5 to 7 minutes. Ground turkey and chicken usually cooks very quickly.
