Treat your ingredients with care...

  • Wild game sausage — Ensure the sausages are fully cooked to an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C) for safe consumption.
  • Chipotle mayo — Adjust the amount of chipotle mayo according to your preferred level of spiciness.
  • Cranberry relish — You can make your own cranberry relish by combining fresh cranberries, sugar, and a splash of orange juice in a saucepan and simmering until the cranberries burst and the mixture thickens.

Tips & Tricks

  • If wild game sausages are not available, you can substitute with lean venison or bison meat and season it with a blend of Native American spices.
  • For added smokiness, grill the sausages over charcoal or wood chips.
  • Experiment with different toppings such as pickled jalapeños, roasted corn salsa, or a drizzle of maple syrup for a unique twist.
