Grass-Fed, Grass-Finished Ground Bison – Twisted V Market

A Lean, Flavorful Alternative to Beef

If you’ve ever wondered what makes bison such a sought-after meat, the answer lies in its unique combination of rich flavor and exceptional nutrition. At Twisted V Market, we’re proud to bring you locally sourced, grass-fed, grass-finished ground bison from a trusted rancher right here in Canton, Texas.

This isn’t just another protein option — it’s a premium, pasture-raised meat that delivers bold flavor with a leaner profile than traditional beef. Whether you’re cooking for your family, meal prepping for a busy week, or looking for a clean protein to fit your wellness goals, our ground bison offers a versatile and delicious upgrade to your favorite recipes.

Why Bison? The Benefits of Choosing This Heritage Meat

Bison isn’t new — it’s been a cornerstone of North American diets for centuries. What is new, however, is the growing awareness of bison’s health benefits and superior flavor compared to other meats. Here’s why it’s quickly becoming a favorite among chefs, nutritionists, and home cooks alike:

1. Naturally Lean & High in Protein

Ground bison is naturally leaner than most ground beef, with a lower fat content but still packed with protein. This makes it ideal for anyone looking for a high-protein, nutrient-dense option without sacrificing flavor or texture.

2. Rich, Bold Flavor

Unlike beef, bison has a slightly sweeter and deeper flavor profile — often described as “beefy but cleaner.” It’s hearty enough to stand up in burgers, chili, and tacos, yet refined enough for gourmet dishes.

3. Nutrient-Dense Superfood

Bison is loaded with essential vitamins and minerals like iron, zinc, vitamin B12, and selenium. It’s a powerhouse protein for energy, muscle health, and overall wellness.

4. Grass-Fed and Grass-Finished

Our bison are raised exclusively on pasture and remain grass-fed and grass-finished, meaning they never transition to grain. This produces a cleaner, more natural meat with a nutritional profile aligned to what nature intended.

5. Ethical and Sustainable

Supporting local bison ranchers means supporting regenerative grazing practices that restore soil health, promote biodiversity, and sustain open grasslands. It’s food you can feel good about — for your family and the planet.

Locally Sourced from Canton, Texas

At Twisted V Market, we believe knowing where your food comes from matters. Our ground bison is sourced from a nearby ranch in Canton, just a short drive from our market in Tyler, Texas. This close relationship means we can ensure:

• High-quality animal care – Bison roam freely on open pastures, living stress-free lives.

• Sustainable practices – The rancher employs regenerative grazing to improve the land, not deplete it.

• Freshness you can trust – With fewer miles traveled from pasture to market, our bison is as fresh as it gets.

By choosing this ground bison, you’re not just buying premium meat — you’re investing in local agriculture and supporting a rancher committed to doing things the right way.

How to Cook Ground Bison

Ground bison can be used in nearly any recipe that calls for ground beef — but there are a few tips to get the best results:

• Lower Fat Content: Because bison is leaner, cook it at slightly lower temperatures to avoid drying it out.

• Quick Cooking: It cooks faster than beef, so keep an eye on doneness.

• Flavor Pairings: Bison pairs beautifully with bold flavors — think smoked paprika, garlic, rosemary, or even sweet glazes like apple butter or pepper jelly.

• Versatile Uses: Perfect for burgers, meatballs, tacos, chili, stuffed peppers, or grain bowls.

Bison Burger Basics

Form patties gently (don’t overwork the meat), season simply with salt and pepper, and grill or pan-sear to medium-rare or medium for the juiciest results. Add your favorite toppings — pickled jalapeños, cheddar cheese, and our house-made BBQ sauce are customer favorites.

Bison Chili Upgrade

Swap beef for bison in your favorite chili recipe for a slightly sweeter, richer flavor. Pair with bold chip salsa or candied jalapeños for a Tex-Mex twist.

Weeknight Tacos

Brown ground bison with taco seasoning, pile into corn tortillas, and top with tomatillo avocado salsa and fresh cilantro for a quick, flavorful dinner.
