Venison Burgers

These venison or deer burgers, which mix egg yolks and bacon into the meat to ensure juiciness, turn out remarkably tender and flavorful burgers. They're easy to make and can be cooked on the grill or in a skillet.

Instructions
- Build a really hot fire in a grill or preheat a large cast-iron skillet over high heat.
- In a bowl, combine the venison, bacon, salt, pepper, egg yolks, and Worcestershire sauce with your hands. The mixture will be sorta wet and sticky. Divvy the mixture into 4 to 6 balls and gently shape each blob into a 1 1/2-inch-thick patty.
- Carefully brush the grill rack or skillet with a little oil.
- Grill or sear the patties until well browned on one side, about 5 minutes. Flip and, if desired, place a slice of cheese on top of each patty, and then cook for about 3 minutes more for medium-rare to medium, or longer according to your desired doneness.
- Serve the burgers on buns with your desired combination of mustard, mayonnaise, pickles, and/or arugula.
