Tender cuts of venison, marinated in a brown sugar, soy sauce, rum and cola mixture, wrapped in turkey bacon and baked Yield:
Varies, depending on size of cut of venison Ingredients:
1/4 cup rum*
brown sugar
1/4 can cola**
1/2 cup soy sauce***
uncooked turkey bacon
Instructions:
1. Combine 1/4 can of pepsi with a shot of rum (about 1/4 cup rum or a few drops rum flavoring); stir. Add 1/2 cup of soy sauce, and enough brown sugar to make a nice thick paste. Mix well with a fork.
2. Lay meat out in a shallow dish that can be covered; pour marinade on top. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1/2 hour, no more than 4 hours.
3. After meat has marinated to your liking, take 2-3 strips of uncooked turkey bacon, and wrap around the pieces of meat. If using tenderloin, wrap the entire piece in slices of the bacon.
4. Place meat on a cooking pan (jellyroll pans work the best!). Once all pieces are wrapped and on the pan, spoon a bit of the marinade on the wrapped meat.
5. Transfer to a 350 degree oven, and cook for about 20 minutes.
After 20 minutes, spoon/baste the meat with more marinade. Discard any
leftover marinade after this. Cook for another 15-20 minutes, depending
on the thickness of the meat. When you can start to smell the meat in
other parts of your home, its almost done! Cook venison as you would
beef.****Â

Serve with green salad, buttered cooked sweet potatoes, and rolls. Enjoy!
Additional Notes:
*Or rum flavoring. I like using real rum better.
**We use Pepsi.
***We use the Kikkoman low sodium.
****The meat will get very dark, due to all of the sugars used; don’t worry, you’re not burning it unless it smells burnt!
