Ingredients

Scale

Meat & Protein

  • 1 pound lean ground turkey
  • 1 large egg

Grains

  • 1/3 cup old fashioned oats
  • 1/2 cup brown rice or quinoa (cooked)

Vegetables

  • 1/3 cup diced tomatoes (with liquid, no sodium)
  • 1/2 cup carrots (finely diced)
  • 1/2 cup green beans (diced, fresh or frozen and thawed)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius) to ensure it reaches the ideal temperature for baking the meatloaf evenly.
  2. Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, thoroughly combine the lean ground turkey, large egg, old fashioned oats, diced tomatoes with liquid (no sodium), finely diced carrots, diced green beans, and cooked brown rice or quinoa. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly distributed.
  3. Form Loaf: Transfer the mixture into a 5 x 7-inch loaf pan, pressing gently to shape it evenly into the pan for uniform baking.
  4. Bake: Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for 45 minutes. This allows the meatloaf to cook through and the flavors to meld.
  5. Cool and Serve: Once baked, remove from the oven and let it cool slightly. Slice into bite-sized pieces suitable for your dog’s size.
  6. Storage: Store the meatloaf pieces covered in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or freeze for longer storage, ensuring freshness for future meals.

Notes

  • Use lean ground turkey to reduce fat content and promote a healthier meal for your dog.
  • Ensure diced tomatoes have no added sodium, which can be harmful to dogs.
  • Cook brown rice or quinoa thoroughly before adding to the mixture for better digestibility.
  • Always introduce new foods gradually and monitor your dog for any allergic reactions.
  • This recipe is designed as a supplementary meal and should not replace a balanced dog diet recommended by your vet.
