VENISON MEATBALLS

"I learned to cook game while my husband was a forestry student," recalls Sheila Reed from Fredericton, New Brunswick. "We lived off the land as much as possible. I still enjoy these savory meatballs in a slightly sweet barbecue sauce. I make a big batch for an annual pool party and there are never any left."

ITALIAN WEDDING SOUP WITH VENISON MEATBALLS



Italian Wedding Soup with Venison Meatballs image

I'm always looking for new ways to use the ground venison in the freezer and this is one of my favorites. The Italian sausage not only adds just the right amount of fat that venison needs but it is also seasoned so well that you don't need to add a lot of extra herbs to the soup. Leftovers hold up nicely. The pasta holds its texture and doesn't absorb all of the broth when refrigerated overnight.

SPICY VENISON MEATBALLS

Hunting season sneaks up on me every year and I find myself needing to use up a few pounds of venison to make room for the new. These venison meatballs are great served in hoagies or with pasta and sauce. These are spicy but not to the point that it overpowers the venison.
