Turkey and Sweet Potato Treats
Ingredients:
1/2 cup plain mashed and cooked sweet potatoes (see note)
3/4 cup water
1 egg, lightly beaten
2 cups cooked white turkey meat, finely chopped
2 cups whole wheat flour or white whole wheat flour
*Note: Consider grabbing an extra sweet potato when you’re doing your shopping for your dinner and making it plain alongside your own sweet potato recipe to save you some cooking time down the road!
Instructions:
Preheat the oven to 350°F.
In a medium bowl, combine sweet potatoes, water, and egg, stirring until thoroughly incorporated. Add turkey and flour (gradually) and stir until combined. The batter will be very thick and sticky.
Use a rubber spatula to spread the dough evenly onto a parchment-lined baking sheet to form a rectangle (approximately 10" x 14") at about 1/2" thickness.
Use a knife or pizza cutter to score the dough into rectangles of whatever size you'd like.
Bake for about 30 minutes, until the treats are a light golden brown.
Cool completely and then break along the score lines or use a knife/pizza cutter to cut along the score lines.
Store in the refrigerator or in zippered freezer bags in the freezer (thaw before serving).
Helpful Ingredients in this Meal:
Turkey: Plain, white turkey meat is high in zinc, potassium, and selenium. Zinc is essential for metabolic function, immune system health, wound healing, thyroid function, blood clotting, and correct development in young dogs and cats.
Egg: High in fatty acids, protein, and vitamins, eggs are a fantastic supplement for dogs and cats.
Sweet potatoes: Sweet potatoes are high in dietary fibre (always a good thing!), as well as vitamins A, B6, C, calcium, potassium, and iron.
