No pork venison sausage recipe with easy to buy ingredients?

[Omega]

I don't eat pork, but cannot find a recipe for venison sausages without pork. Would you know one?
Ideally, it should be with some easy to buy and prepare ingredients. My guide told me that I can buy mixes for sausages and burgers, but I did not come across them in supermarkets, do I need to order them online only?
I plan buying Kitchenaid attachment to make sausages, I have KitchenAid mincer attachment already
Thanks

Although venison burgers are best without the addition of pork or other meat fats, unfortunately the same cannot be said of venison sausages. There must be a way, but I have yet to find it.
In the meantime, I suggest you make burgers instead.

Tongmaster do a great range of seasonings. Either direct or through amazon. Personally I use surplus fallow fat for sausages, but might not be to everyone's taste.

You can make fantastic venison sausages (boerewors) with Beef fat. No pork necessary. All spices and worcester sauce available in your local supermarket and beef fat from butcher or, even better, online.

I'd recommend buying a manual sausage stuffer, maybe 2-3 litre capacity.

migeuz, north african sausages normally made with lamb, venison and lamb fat/breast minced would work great

Thank you for the suggestion of boerwors - I will definitely try it as I ate it before and loved it
Wonder why would you recommend buying a manual sausage stuffer? The attachment to Kitchenaid will cost me only £35, and from my experience KitchenAid works really well. I suspect I underestimate complexities of making the sausage as I never made them before...

No problem, boerewors is great. Let me know if you'd like a good recipe.

I found that the sausage stuffing attachments for mincers tended to not work that well, and churned the mixture up excessively.

A manual stuffer with a crank handle is effortless and fast.

I must be looking at some wrong products as I see that manual sausage stuffers cost way more than KitchenAid attachment ... Could you direct me to what you have in mind, please? This is what I found - £384 for a 3 litre model Manual Stainless Steel Sausage Filler

Hog casings might not be the best idea if he doesn’t eat pork! Might have to use collagen casings.

Please, share your recipe - this topic is tasty
And could you suggest the manual stuffer - maybe I should not be afraid buying something inexpensive, but don't know what constitutes a good quality...

How big a batch of sausages are you planning to make?
I have used a Kenwood Chef mincer/stuffer attachment in the past and it was fine to make a few kilos every now and again, I guess that the Kitchen aid wouldn't be too dissimilar, but you need to mince the diced venison mixed with seasoning (and rusk if using it), when it is virtually frozen on a coarse plate, then chill it again before stuffing.

If you can't eat pork belly you can swap for lamb breast, but don't overdo it otherwise the lamb flavour comes through too much.
Salt, pepper, rosemary, marjoram, juniper, garlic, thyme, orange etc are all available in the supermarket to make your own spice blend.
There are plenty of online sources of mixes try;

I would think about 2-3 kg of sausages for the first time and then I will see. I would think KitchenAid is the same to Kenwood
Buying a manual sausage stuffer is about £140 from Bushwear with some extra items, I guess I will try KitchenAid first to try - if it doesn’t work, then I will return it
Thank you for suggestion

Thanks - yes, I thought manual ones were cheaper, but apparently not . Will try KitchenAid, then e(vil)Bay if it doesn’t work

Why would anyone go to the effort of making their own, bespoke home made sausages and then use a pre-bought seasoning mix. You may as well just buy the sausages in the first place.

Ages ago an old forum member called woodsmoke posted that skimmed milk powder helps to retain moisture in sausages due to some magic or something. If you search the forum you'd find it I'm sure.

It works well. Add it to your seasoning mix.

I also add some cheddar cheese but with the skimmed milk powder there's no need for pork fat.

I can't tell you how much I use as I just kind of add it until it feels right in my hands. Then fry a little bit of the mixture to test for flavour and stuff it in the skins.
