Ingredients

Ingredients for Turkey and Cranberry Cat Treats
  • 1/2 cup lean ground turkey
  • 8 cranberries, fresh finely chopped
  • 1 medium egg
  • 2 tablespoons oat flour

Steps

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper if not using a silicone treat tray.
  2. Add all the ingredients into a food processor or blender and blitz until smooth.
  3. Adjust the texture if needed by adding a small amount of extra oat flour (if wet) or a splash of water (if dry).
  4. Shape the treats into small pea-sized balls or gently flatten them into tiny discs suitable for your cat.
  5. Place on the baking tray and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until firm but still soft in the centre.
  6. Cool completely before serving to your cat.

Substitutions

  • Ground chicken is a suitable replacement for turkey.
