Not sure if ground buffalo meat from the local butcher exactly counts as "wild game", but I couldn't find another place to put this.  Here's my method for taking lean ground buffalo and making sure it doesn't dry out when making it into buffalo burgers on the grill.

Started with a slice of white bread, crust removed


Soaked briefly in milk


Cubed the bread into 1/4" to 1/2" pieces


Added the cubes to a bowl with the 1lb of ground buffalo


I added a little Weber gourmet burger seasoning


Mixed the bread and meat together, and formed them into good sized patties (not too thin)


Started the Weber kettle with some Royal Oak lump charcoal


Once the coals were going, I dumped them and added some pecan chips


A little "process lubricant".  I find it helps loosen the arm that operates the grill spatula, for a more fluid turning motion.

Who am I kidding?  I was thirsty and this is good beer.


Finished product with some White American cheese on a Kaiser roll.  I cooked them a little further than I intended, but they were still plenty juicy.


Thanks for checking it out!

Nice, piaconis! We love ground buffalo, have it all the time! It's much leaner and healthier than ground beef. And love the Leinie too, even if its a tad less healthy...
