Deer Meatballs with Thyme and Bacon

04/06/2014 by Julie Karla Leave a Comment

Healthy Dinner Recipes-6These deer meatballs are actually very easy to make and something we eat a lot in the Nordic countries. Venison is a great source of protein and it contains less fat than for example pork or beef because the animal is always on the move. In Denmark and Sweden and Norway as well, we would typically eat these deer meatballs with potatoes, gravy and lingon berries.Organic Meat
