Ingredients
- 1 lb ground venison or elk, moose, antelope, etc
- ⅜ cup maple syrup divided
- 2 tablespoon pork lard melted, only needed if your meat doesn't have fat ground in
- 1 ½ tablespoon thyme fresh, finely chopped or 1 tablespoon dried
- 1 ½ tablespoon sage fresh, finely chopped or 1 tablespoon dried
- 1 teaspoon fennel ground
- 1 teaspoon marjoram
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1 pinch cloves ground
Instructions
- Add ground venison to a medium bowl. Add in spices. Drizzle 2 tablespoon maple syrup and melted lard over meat.
- Mix together with your hands until spice mixture is well-distributed in the meat. Cover bowl and refrigerate for at least a couple of hours, preferably overnight.
- Preheat oven to 375°F.
- Divide meat into 42 equal portions. Roll portions of meat between your hands to form balls. Place on parchment paper-lined sheet pan.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes. Place sasuage bites into medium bowl. Drizzle ¼ cup maple syrup over the sausage bites. Stir to coat.
- Pour back onto parchment paper-lined sheet pan and spread apart. Bake for an additional 10-12 minutes, stirring every 3-4 minutes to prevent burning.
- Serve on toothpicks or in a bowl. Drizzle with pan drippings. Enjoy!

Notes
- If you already have breakfast sausage made up, you can use that instead of mixing in the spices.
- If your ground meat already has fat ground in, you can skip the lard.
- Keep an eye on the sausage bites in the oven once you toss them in maple syrup. There's a fine line between perfectly caramelized maple syrup and burned maple syrup. If you're not sure, err on the side of less cooking to make sure they don't burn.
