Ingredients

Ingredient Amount
Lean ground turkey (93% lean) 1 lb
Cooked brown rice, cooled 1 cup
Egg 1 large
Shredded carrots 1/2 cup
Chopped spinach 1/2 cup
Plain unsweetened applesauce 1/4 cup
Ground flaxseed 1 tbsp
Turmeric (optional) 1/2 tsp
Olive oil 1 tbsp

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a loaf pan with parchment or lightly oil it so the loaf lifts out cleanly.

  2. In a large bowl, mix turkey, rice, egg, carrots, spinach, applesauce, flaxseed, turmeric, and olive oil. Keep the mixing gentle so the loaf stays tender.

  3. Press the mixture firmly into the loaf pan and smooth the top.

  4. Bake for 45–55 minutes, until the center reaches 165°F (safe for dogs).

  5. Cool fully before slicing to help the loaf hold together.

  6. Serve with warm water or low-sodium bone broth for extra moisture.
    Variations:

 

  • Swap brown rice for quinoa or oats

  • Grain-free: use mashed sweet potato

  • Freeze slices between parchment for easy reheating
