Description

Simple recipe for making soft, crunchy dog kibbles using turkey and pumpkin.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup whole wheat flour
  • 1/2 cup pumpkin puree (not pie filling)
  • 1/2 cup cooked ground turkey, drained
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/4 cup water

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, pumpkin puree, ground turkey, and egg.
  3. Mix the ingredients until a stiff dough forms. Add water slowly, one tablespoon at a time, if the dough is too dry to come together.
  4. On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough out to about 1/8 inch thickness.
  5. Use a small cookie cutter or knife to cut the dough into small, bite-sized kibble shapes.
  6. Place the cut pieces onto the prepared baking sheet.
  7. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the edges are firm and lightly browned.
  8. Turn off the oven and leave the kibbles inside with the door slightly ajar for another 30 minutes to dry out and achieve a crunchier texture.
  9. Cool completely before storing.

Notes

  • Store the finished kibbles in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
  • For a harder crunch, bake for an additional 5 to 10 minutes.
