Description
A simple recipe for making dry dog food kibble using turkey and spinach for lean muscle support.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb ground turkey
- 1 cup fresh spinach, finely chopped
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1/4 cup water
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, combine the ground turkey, chopped spinach, rolled oats, water, egg, and coconut oil. Mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Spread the mixture thinly and evenly onto the prepared baking sheet. Aim for a thickness of about 1/4 inch.
- Bake for 25 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and carefully score the mixture into small, kibble-sized squares using a knife or pizza cutter while it is still warm.
- Return to the oven and bake for another 10 to 15 minutes, or until the mixture is dry and firm throughout.
- Let the sheet cool completely. Break the sheet along the scored lines to separate the kibble pieces.
- Store the finished kibble in an airtight container.
Notes
- You can adjust the water slightly if the mixture seems too dry or too wet to spread.
- For extra crispness, you can turn off the oven after the final baking time and leave the kibble inside with the door slightly ajar for 30 minutes as it cools.
