For best results, use ground venison with a higher fat content (around 20%) to ensure juicy and flavorful burgers. If your venison is very lean, consider adding a small amount of ground pork or beef fat. Avoid overmixing the venison mixture, as this can result in tough burgers. Don't press down on the patties while grilling, as this will squeeze out the juices and dry out the burgers. For extra flavor, try adding a pinch of smoked paprika or a dash of hot sauce to the venison mixture. These burgers are also delicious pan-fried in a skillet with a little butter or olive oil.
