Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Sage Mayo

    In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, chopped fresh sage leaves, and lemon juice. Mix well and set aside.

  2. 2

    Make the Venison Patties

    In a large bowl, mix the ground venison with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder until well combined. Form the mixture into two equal-sized patties.

  3. 3

    Cook the Patties

    Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired doneness. During the last minute of cooking, place blue cheese on top of each patty to melt.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Burgers

    Toast the pretzel buns on the grill or in a toaster. Place each venison patty on a bun and top with sage mayo. Close the bun and serve immediately.
