I have some early season geese laying around that need a recipe. Has anyone ever made jerky out of them? If so, can you post some recipes?

Thanks guys!

The jery is great. You can go to Walmart and get jerky seasoning and use it.

I used to make jerky out of all my ducks and geese. The meat is too dark for my taste, but when made into jerky it is great. I just used the package seasoning.

I've always used the High Mountain Jerky Cures and had good luck. Cut them into strips and smoke them after letting them cure for a day in the seasoning and you'll have some great jerky. I do all of my sharptail, ducks, and geese up into jerky - best way to make use of that meat in my opinion.

Wow, it sounds like I have been missing out. I don;t have the high mountain stuff so I will just mix up some special ingredients and give it a whirl.

I made some Wild Turkey jerky last year and it was great!

We've been doing that for several years and make it into summer sausage. IMO, duck and goose summer sausage needs pork butt (40 lbs D&G and 10 lbs pork is what we've settled on. Made some with chipolte cheddar cheese last year and that was pretty good.

Above all else, use very clean birds. Really sucks finding a #2 steel shot in it, plus your grinder will appreciate it.

This stuff is AWESOME! I mixed up some marinade yesterday and soaked it overnight. I put it in the oven this morning and let it dry out most of day. Unbelievable! I shot 2 more geese tonight and they are already soaking!

Yes, I have had goose, turkey, swan, duck, crane, grouse, pheasant, and Hun jerky. birds make awesome jerky, but you gotta be careful or they'll turn out "real" dry!!!

Yea, it tastes great. But it makes my farts smell like rotten goose. When the smell of me starts making me sick, that just isnt good.

I know my first response wasn't very helpfull. As far as I am concerned any meat makes good jerky, since you taste the spices over the meat. The other consideration is the texture of the finished product. I make all my jerky out of ground meat. I grind it with a 1/2 HP electric grinder, then press the meat into strips with a jerky press. Goose is especially good that way, and there is essentially no waste.

When I used to slice the goose, I ended up with stuff that was too tough, sliced with the grain; or stuff that was too short, sliced across the grain.

i just ate my first ever goose that i got the other day. We cooked it in the slow cooker all day with a can of mushroom soup and a can of chickenbroth. It tasted like deer roast when it was all done. I was impressed with the taste and now ill hunt them moore but i am too looking for a good jerkey recipe. Where do u all get this high mountain stuff. As it sounds like the way to go
thanks carl

here's a new one i just tried and it is awesome.....

Goose Jerky Recipe

Ingredients

4 lbs goose breast, thinly sliced


2 c. teriyaki sauce


2 Tbsp tabasco sauce


2 Tbsp liquid smoke


2 Tbsp black pepper


2 Tbsp garlic powder


1 Tbsp meat tenderizer


1 Tbsp Mrs. Dash


1 Tbsp Red Pepper


Mix everything together in a large covered bowl, making sure all the goose is submerged. Put in fridge overnight. The next day, remove goose and put in dehydrator or smoker. Cook on medium until jerky is dry, but not crispy. This goose jerky recipe tastes so great, you'll think you bought it at a store!

PAFOXTRAPPER55,
You can get the High Mountain Jerky Kit from Cabela's. They have other varieties too. Summer sausage, bratwurst, etc.

I breast out and make jerky out of at least half of the geese I shoot . I combine one half cup of boiling water, one half cup of pancake syrup, a quarter cup each of soy sauce and brown sugar, 2 tablespoons each of Liquid Smoke and Worcestershire sauce and one teaspoon each of garlic powder and ground pepper. Stir until everything is dissolved. Cut the goose breasts into thin strips and let them soak for a day in the fridge. I don’t have a smoker or a dehydrator so I use my oven. I stick toothpicks though one end of the strips and hang them on the top rack. Don't forget to put a pan on the lower rack to catch the drips. I set our oven on the lowest setting and leave the door cracked open a little. Check it after two hours to see how its doing. You want it fairly dry, but still bendable. I put the smaller pieces toward the front as they dry first. It takes between three to four hours in our oven to complete the process. Some of my buddies say it takes them less time, some say more, but they all say it’s the best jerky they’ve ever had. I’ve use the same mixture with venison, beef, elk and antelope with excellent results.

HD, That's the same recipe I used for mine. Well, almost. I did add/subtract a couple ingredients!

Stormy, I think I will try yours next.
