RECIPE :: Leftover turkey? :)

Do you still have some leftover turkey sitting around? Here's an easy, healthy recipe to whip up some tasty k9 treats:

what you'll need:

1 cup cooked turkey (all chopped up)

1 cup brown rice flour (plus a bit more for rolling)

1 egg

3/4 cup mashed, cooked yam/sweet potato/carrot (whatever you have - if not, you can sub in canned pure pumpkin)

2 T cranberry sauce (or honey)

1 t ground cinnamon or pumpkin pie spice

3 T dried cranberries (coarsely chopped) *optional*

what to do:

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

In a large bowl, mix all the ingredients together until well combined and it forms into a ball. Lightly dust surface & rolling pin and roll out to about 1/4" thick to fit a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper.

Bake for about 14-16 minutes - until dough is set (not sticky) but still somewhat soft. Take out of oven, then turn down oven to 250 degrees.

Cut into strips, then into little squares - whatever size you'd like. Pile all the pieces back on to the cookie sheet, spread out, and put back in oven to dry out and get crunchy.

After a couple hours, turn oven off and leave cookies in oven. Or if your dog prefers softer treats, you can take them out earlier - and keep in a sealed container in the fridge. If it's super dried out, they'll keep longer even just at room temp.

Enjoy!
