Ingredients
- 2 lbs ground turkey
- 1 cup broccoli florets
- 1/2 cup cranberries
- 1 cup green beans
- 1 cup pumpkin chunks, peeled
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
Steps
- Heat the coconut oil in a large pan or skillet on a medium heat.
- Place the ground turkey in the skillet. Use a spatula or wooden spoon to break it up into smaller pieces as it cooks. This will help ensure even cooking.
- Cook the ground turkey for approximately 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently. The internal temperature of the turkey should reach 165°F (74°C) to ensure it's fully cooked and safe to eat. Use a meat thermometer to check the temperature.
- Finely chop the broccoli, pumpkin and green bites to bite sized pieces.
- Add the chopped vegetables and cranberries to the turkey. Mix well, cover and cook for 10 minutes until the vegetables are cooked.
- Allow the dinner to cool down to a safe temperature before serving it to your furry friend.
Substitutions
- Butternut squash instead of pumpkin
- Brussels sprouts instead of broccoli
