Antelope meat?

[Bowmannate2000]

Anyone make burgers? Do you need something to hold the burger into a patty?

I don't mix anything in, but would love a burger

I've done it with no fat added. Left it coarse ground, and used a clamshell burger press. Held together well for me.

You can make lean burgers if you work the meat slightly as you form it into the patty, it's a milder version of 'don't overwork a meatloaf because you'll make it tough'. Kneading the patty as you form it affects the protein strands of the meat and helps them hold together better. If I'm doing lean wild game burgers for the family I'll drop the meat in my kitchenaid bowl and add the spices and work it with the paddle for a minute and the patties always hold together beautifully even without fat added to the grind.

you don't not have to add fat either.

burgers are 80/20 in my kitchen, no matter the animal.

If you don't add fat what would the percentage of fat with just straight game meat? There is almost zero fat in game meat.
Also it doesn't hold together very well with no fat if making burger patties.

Last one I shot in 22’ I got skin off and meat on ice within 40 minutes of kill . It was about 55 degrees out . I then drove 5 hours home with it on ice . Left in the cooler on ice 48 hours . Then ground it all except the back straps , mixed 10 lbs of bacon in with the roughly 20-25 lbs of meat I could be off on that I don’t remember my point is the antelope bacon burgers were to die for

Antelope is great as is but if you have to add something to the grind, mix in a nice applewood-smoked bacon for making burgers on the grill.

For an added bonus when you make your bacon antelope burgers, cover peach halves with melted butter and grill till caramelized, and add slices of the peaches to the burger along with fresh basil, garden tomatoes, and mozzarella cheese

Fancy.

Antelope Tartare,,,,

Just add coconut oil, avocado oil, butter, or bacon grease to the pot when we are cooking; depending on what type of meal calls for each particular type of oil.

my wife adds a bit of Heavy Whipping Cream to my ground meat (moose, antelope, deer, whatever) when she makes meatloaf,,, awesome add that helps bind and gives it a bit of fatty moisture

I love it,,,

I love Antelope BUT not so much the burger.
I do add 50/50 beef/ pork fat, about 20%

For us, so far, just a salty and peppery rub and tossed on the grill. We turned most of the surviving shoulder and the hams into meat to be cut and butterflied for steaks. No need for fancier for my tastes, but my wife likes to get creative.

Wife did some kind of red wine reduction for the tenderloins. Now, that is more gourmet-y than this country boy, but that reduction and fresh green onion on the tenderloin was heavenly.

The surviving shoulder actually got set aside whole. Going to smoke it next weekend per a recipe I saw here. Smoke it till it falls apart, then into tacos.

I am hooked on pronghorn. We will be working hard for tags in both ID (where we plan to move soon) and WY from here out. Fabulous meat.

I'll grind it straight and then add to it as needed.
