Goose Burger
Burgers can be made from just about any game meat, including geese. A meat grinder, like one from Weston Products, works best, but you can get good results from simply pulsing chopped breast fillets in a food processor or mincing them with a sharp Buck Knives chef knife. In this recipe, I added pork or fatty beef to get that “juicy” burger most people want. About four parts goose to one part bacon or ground pork is ideal.
