Just added it to this weeks menu.
Thanks for the tip.

In the same flavor vein, we rock his Kefta Kabobs every other week or so in the summer when the tomatoes are ripe.

Have to try that. Kabobs are staple here for us as well in the summer from the garden. Usually of the mallard variety.

It's one of the few recipes in Buck Buck Moose that isn't on his webpage or I'd post a link. I'll take a photo today and post it.

I don’t think I’ve tried those yet, for no good reason. I’ll put it in the list.

I've been making this Middle Eastern Rice fairly often lately and I really like it. I will usually sub out the ground turkey for either shredded chicken thighs or ground venison because ground turkey is so bland, but honestly it's still pretty good in this particular recipe.

I might try this. Leave out a couple optional things and use deer meat. Sounds like a belly filler.

We eat a fair amount of stuff off of Pinterest. I absolutely hate it due to articles/pop ups and everything else. I found a ap called ReciMe it’s 10/10 I may even subscribe to it turns unreadable pop ups into this and you can save the recipe. Also the link from Pinterest if you wanna compare https://pin.it/1Tz220KGs

I love that app. Can pull and save recipes from just about anywhere. It can grab a recipe from just about any app or webpage. It can often even pull a recipe from one of those TikTok or Instagram recipe videos that don’t actually provide a written instructions.

One of my favorites from my college days (I still eat this) is something my brother and I affectionately call 'meat slop':

ground venison/elk
a quarter to half a cut onion
2+ cups of cut green or red cabbage
some garlic
spice to taste

Pan fry veggies, add meat, season, pan fry together. Add on top of rice or eat with potatoes.

Breakfast version swaps homemade breakfast sausage and then fry a couple eggs on top.

The best version is homemade wild turkey Italian sausage meat slop on top of Israeli Couscous.

Thought i'd share this. I employed chatgpt to create a 7 day dinnertime meal plan with my parameters for healthy eating. This is the first time i've ever prompted this and what I received.


Absolutely—here’s a 7-day weeknight dinner plan built around your wild game freezer stash, mixed with chicken, fish, and pork, and rotating through global flavors. Everything is whole-food focused, low sugar, unprocessed, and weeknight-realistic.

I’ll assume common wild game (elk, venison, antelope, moose) and note flexible swaps where it matters.

7-Day Healthy Weeknight Meal Plan​

Monday – Greek​

Herb-Grilled Wild Game Steaks (elk/venison)

• Marinade: olive oil, lemon, garlic, oregano, rosemary
• Side:
  • Greek salad (tomato, cucumber, red onion, olives, feta)
  • Roasted fingerling potatoes with olive oil & oregano
• Fruit: Fresh berries or orange slices

Why it works: Lean game + olive oil + bright acid keeps it tender and Mediterranean-clean.

---

Tuesday – Mexican​

Wild Game Taco Bowls

• Ground venison/elk seasoned with cumin, chili powder, garlic, smoked paprika
• Base: cauliflower rice or brown rice
• Toppings:
  • sautéed peppers & onions
  • avocado

  • cilantro & lime
• Optional: plain Greek yogurt instead of sour cream
• Fruit: Pineapple or mango (small portion)

---

• Roast cooked with: crushed tomatoes, onion, garlic, carrot, celery, bay leaf, thyme
• Serve over:
  • zucchini noodles or whole-wheat pasta

• Chicken thighs or breast
• Sauce: tamari or coconut aminos, fresh ginger, garlic, rice vinegar, sesame oil
