Instructions

1.	Preheat your grill or grill pan on medium high heat.
2.	In a large mixing bowl, combine ground deer meat, crumbled feta cheese, chopped tomato, green pepper and mix well with your hands.
3.	Divide the mixture into 4-6 parts and form them into patties, making sure they are not too thick in the center, as they will puff up while cooking.
4.	Place the patties on the grill and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side or until they reach your desired level of doneness.
5.	Remove the patties from the grill and let them rest for 3-4 minutes before serving. Optional: Serve with a side of potato wedges or your favorite salad.
