Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound ground turkey
  • 6 cups water or low-sodium chicken broth
  • 2 cups brown rice
  • 1 teaspoon dried rosemary (optional)
  • 8 ounces frozen mixed vegetables (broccoli, carrots, cauliflower, no seasoning)

Equipment

  • large pot or Dutch oven
  • wooden spoon
  • Airtight containers
  • Measuring cups

Method
 

  1. Start with a large pot or Dutch oven. Toss in the ground turkey, water or broth, brown rice, and rosemary. Use a spoon to break up the turkey for even cooking.
  2. Bring it all to a boil. Then reduce the heat and let it simmer gently for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
  3. Add the frozen vegetables and stir them in. Continue simmering for another 5 minutes until veggies are tender but still vibrant.
  4. Let the food cool completely before serving or storing. Hot food can burn your dog’s mouth!

Notes

Let the food cool before serving or storing. Use meal-sized freezer batches for easier feeding. Always avoid ingredients like onions, garlic, grapes, raisins, and anything seasoned. Consult your vet before switching to homemade food long-term.
