Ingredients

1 cup cooked ground turkey
1 cup canned pumpkin (not the spiced pie filling)
2 1/2 cups whole wheat flour (or gluten-free flour if needed)
1/2 cup rolled oats
1/4 cup peanut butter (unsweetened and unsalted)
1 egg
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
Water as needed for dough consistency

Instructions

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the cooked ground turkey, canned pumpkin, peanut butter, and egg. Mix until well combined.
Add Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the flour, oats, and cinnamon (if using) to the mixture, stirring until a dough forms. If the dough is too dry, add a little water until it reaches a workable consistency.
Roll Out the Dough: On a floured surface, roll out the dough to about 1/4 inch thick. Use cookie cutters to cut out shapes and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Bake: Bake the treats in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until they are golden brown and firm to the touch.
Cool and Store: Allow the treats to cool completely before storing them in an airtight container.
