YUMMY GROUND TURKEY DOGGIE MEATLOAF



Yummy Ground Turkey Doggie Meatloaf image

I love this recipe for making dog food for my girls, Cleo (Carolina Dog) and Dixie (Beagle mix). This recipe makes enough to last my two dogs about one week and they absolutely love it! My vet told me that he thought that they were getting what they need with this recipe, but that I could add a supplement twice a week, if I wanted. I also add fish oil with omega 3 once daily. Just snip the end of the gelcap and squeeze contents over food before serving. My girls think that this is very yummy!

Number Of Ingredients 4

- 10-15 cups cooked rice (5 cups dry rice cooked with 8 to 10 cups water will yield about 10 to 15 cups cooked rice)
- 10 pounds ground turkey
- 18 eggs
- 2 to 4 pounds cooked veggies

Steps:

  • 1. In a large stock pot, cook rice until tender and water is absorbed and set aside to cool. When cool, mix in ground turkey. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • 2. Place eggs (including shells) in a blender and puree until shells are finely ground. Puree cooked vegetables. Add eggs and vegetables to rice mixture and mix thoroughly.
  • 3. Spray four 9X13 casserole dishes with cooking spray. You may need a 5th casserole dish, but it can be a smaller one. Place mixture in casserole dishes and shape into loaves. Bake at 350 for 1 to 1 1/2 hours.
  • 4. Allow meat loaves to cool. Crumble into pieces and put into six to seven 8 cup plastic containers or you may use gallon sized freezer bags. You may use what you need and freeze the rest to use as needed.

Tips:

  • Choose lean ground turkey: Look for ground turkey with at least 93% lean meat to ensure you're providing your dog with a healthy and nutritious meal.
  • Use fresh or frozen vegetables: Fresh vegetables are ideal, but frozen vegetables are a convenient and equally nutritious option. Just be sure to thaw them before adding them to the recipe.
  • Cook the turkey loaf thoroughly: To ensure the safety of your dog, cook the turkey loaf to an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). Use a meat thermometer to check the temperature.
  • Let the turkey loaf cool before serving: Allow the turkey loaf to cool slightly before serving to prevent your dog from burning their mouth.
  • Store leftovers properly: Leftover turkey loaf can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, or in the freezer for up to 2 months.
