rabbit burgers

[padeerhunter]

I posted a while ago about making rabbit jerky. Turned out great!! While I was filling my jerky shooter to do another dehydrater, my son said the meat looked good and wanted to know if I would make him a burger out of it. Fried him one up and he said it was great, so I had to do one for myself and they are real good! Used the rest of the meat that I had plannned for jerky and made somemore burgers. Just something else to do with rabbits. I think this is now my most favorite way to eat rabbit. Anybody else ever try rabbit burgers?

Do you mix anything with it or just grind it up and make a patty?

I used my jerky seasoning, which is:~1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
~1/4 teaspoon red pepper
~1/2 teaspoon salt
~1/2 cup soy sauce
~1/4 cup Worcestershire
~1/4 cup brown sugar
~1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
some liquid smoke and a few other seasonings I found

I had 10 rabbits that I deboned and ran thru the grinder, so I doubled all the above.

I've ground a lot of rabbit up, made it into jerky and sausage both.When I make sausage either breakfast or Polish I always add pork fat and some pork meat to it. It fry's up into patty's nice with some fat .I leave the rabbit plain for chile or any thing that you'd use a lean ground meat for. Another favorite is rabbit ham, I use the back legs and brine them a few days then smoke them and they look like little hams. Great to just eat or put in beans or soups.
