Ingredients

Ingredients for Turkey and Cranberry Dog Treats
  • 1 lb ground turkey
  • 1/2 cup cranberries, fresh or frozen
  • 1 tablespoon parsley, chopped
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 1/2 cups oat flour

Steps

  1. Preheat the oven to 175°C (350°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, add the ground turkey, egg, cranberries and fresh parsley. Mix well.
  3. Add the oat flour and mix until the mixture starts to come together and work into a soft dough. Add more flour if required.
  4. Lightly flour a clean surface with oat flour. Roll out the dough to about ¼-inch thickness.
  5. Use cookie cutters (bone shapes are fun!) or simply cut into small squares or strips with a knife.
  6. Place the shapes on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them slightly apart.
  7. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the treats are firm and lightly golden.
  8. Allow the treats to cool completely on a wire rack before serving or storing.

Substitutions

  • Dried cranberries can be used if they are unsweetened.
  • Barley flour is a good alternative to oat flour.
