We all know that meat is a perfect low carb keto snack because it has zero carbs. However, most commercially prepared beef jerky is prepared with marinades using sugar so carbs can add up. We love homemade jerky, but hate the time it takes to slice and soak in marinade. That’s why we make ground meat jerky now.
The key ingredients to a perfect venison burger patty that's not too dry, gamey tasting, and doesn't fall apart while cooking is to add fat, cracker crumbs, Worcestershire sauce, and an egg. Since venison meat is so lean, deer burger patties often turn out too dry and tough. I highly recommend an 80% lean to 20% pork fat ratio for deer burger meat.
All you need is an oven! I love making low-carb jerky because it's a fantastic travel-friendly snack — it lasts for months without refrigeration. Dehydration (removing water from food) helps preserve it, and using salt adds another level of protection.
