Moose is one of the leanest red meats on earth, containing less fat than chicken breast but packed with iron and rich, beef-like flavor. The bacon adds just enough fat to keep it juicy while it browns. To kick this recipe into overdrive, try sprinkling smoked gouda or sharp cheddar atop the mozzarella for deeper flavor, or drizzle with balsamic glaze before serving for extra tang.
