I made this turkey egg celebration cake for my dog Oliver’s birthday last month. The eggs scrambled into the turkey, and he ate the first piece without hesitation.
Homemade Turkey Egg Cake for Dogs
This cake features ground turkey, eggs, and dog-friendly additions such as carrots and peanut butter. It’s baked to perfection and can be adorned with a yogurt frosting for an extra special touch. The recipe takes about 1 hour from start to finish and serves multiple pups!

- 1/2 cup low-sodium chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 cup plain yogurt (for frosting)

I store the cake in an airtight container in the fridge for up to two days since eggs spoil quickly. Oliver gets a small slice as a treat, and the cake usually lasts us two days.
