What to Do with Ground Venison on The Sporting Chef on Sportsman Channel

Host Scott Leysath demonstrates how to use ground venison in a variety of dishes and snacks. Also on the show are new guest host Tasia Malakasis with a chevre-topped duck breast, Stacy Harris makes a recipe straight from her new cookbook and Buddy says he has the best cornbread recipe – and it includes shrimpr. Tune in to The Sporting Chef exclusively on Sportsman Channel on Sundays at 12:30 PM ET with additional airtimes of Mondays at 5:30 AM., Thursdays at 3:30 AM. and Fridays at 12:00 PM. ET.

On this week's show, Leysath prepares a variety of dishes using ground venison, which he says isn't necessarily the best way to process a deer. "I hear people tell their butcher to save the loin and tenderloin and then grind everything else up – which is truly a waste," said Leysath. "There is so much more meat that can be used for great dishes, like cubing the hindquarters for stew, or using a kit, such as from Hi Mountain Seasonings, to create everything from summer sausage to breakfast sausage."

Also in this episode, Stacy Harris mixes up sweet potato biscuits with wild boar gravy; Tasia Malakasis of Belle Chevre creates a delicious goat cheese "compound butter" as a topping for duck breasts, and Buddy is on hand for what he calls the best-ever cornbread recipe, except that it includes shrimp.
