I like to grind the meat and fat for this right before making the jerky, but any ground venison will do. You will want at least a little fat in the grind, however, because otherwise the jerky will be pretty crumbly and dry. If you don’t use bacon, you will want to increase the salt to 25 grams. And if you have smoked salt, you will want to use it.
