Venison meatballs are savory, protein-rich balls made primarily from ground venison (deer meat), often blended with other ingredients like breadcrumbs, eggs, and seasonings. They are a popular dish in many cuisines, particularly in North America and Europe, where venison is a traditional game meat.
This dish is very high in protein and generally lower in fat than beef-based meatballs, providing key nutrients like iron, zinc, and B vitamins. A typical serving of 4-5 medium meatballs contains approximately 300-400 calories.
