If you live in an area where you can purchase a blended seasoning intended for game that's a good choice. But you can make a good basic seasoning using equal parts of garlic salt, onion pwd then add 1/2 again as much black pepper.

Step 1

Cut onion and green bell pepper into small pieces but not minced. Mince celery

Step 2

Season ground venision well in skillet Add onion, green pepper & celery. There is no fat content in wild game..the vegies will add their own moisture to the skillet but Be prepared to add a bit of oil to facilitate the frying process.
