Description
A simple recipe for making dry, high-protein kibble for dogs using turkey and carrots.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb ground turkey
- 2 cups grated carrots
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup water
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, combine the ground turkey, grated carrots, rolled oats, eggs, water, and coconut oil. Mix until all ingredients are evenly distributed.
- Spread the mixture thinly and evenly onto the prepared baking sheet. Aim for a thickness of about 1/4 inch.
- Bake for 30 minutes.
- Remove the baking sheet from the oven. Cut the baked mixture into small, bite-sized pieces while still warm.
- Return the pieces to the oven and bake for an additional 15 to 20 minutes, or until the kibble is completely dry and hard.
- Turn off the oven and let the kibble cool completely inside the oven with the door slightly ajar for better drying.
- Store the finished kibble in an airtight container.
Notes
- Adjust the final baking time based on the thickness of your kibble pieces for desired dryness.
- You can substitute sweet potato for carrots if you prefer.
- Ensure the kibble is fully dry to prevent mold growth during storage.
