This kibble features ground turkey and roasted sweet potatoes, combined with oats and carrots for added texture and nutrients. The recipe takes about 1 hour to prepare and refrigerate, yielding several cups of kibble that will keep your dog satisfied.

Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground turkey
  • 1 cup sweet potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 1/2 cup carrots, finely chopped
  • 1/2 cup rolled oats
  • 1/4 cup water (or low-sodium chicken broth)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt (optional, adjust for your dog’s dietary needs)
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried parsley (optional)

Instructions

  1. Cook the Turkey: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the ground turkey and cook until browned and fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes.
  2. Prepare Sweet Potatoes: While the turkey cooks, steam or boil the diced sweet potatoes until tender, about 10-15 minutes. Drain and mash them slightly.
  3. Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked turkey, mashed sweet potatoes, chopped carrots, oats, and water. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
  4. Form Kibble: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Spread the mixture onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and flatten it out. Cut it into small kibble-sized pieces.
  5. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 30-40 minutes, or until the kibble is firm and lightly golden. Let it cool completely before breaking it into pieces.
  6. Store: Once cooled, store the kibble in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week, or freeze for longer storage.
