Ingredients
  

  • 3 lbs ground turkey
  • 4 medium sweet potatoes peeled and diced
  • 2 cups green beans trimmed and chopped into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 cup frozen peas

Method
 

  1. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the ground turkey until fully browned and cooked through, 8-10 minutes. Break up the meat as it cooks. Drain excess fat.
  2. Meanwhile, place the diced sweet potatoes in a large pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 8-10 minutes until fork tender.
  3. Add the chopped green beans to the pot with the sweet potatoes during the last 3 minutes of cooking. Drain the potatoes and beans.
  4. Add the cooked turkey, sweet potatoes, green beans and frozen peas to a large bowl. Mix well until fully combined.
  5. Allow the mixture to cool completely before serving. Portion into individual servings and refrigerate or freeze.

Notes

  • Substitutions: You can replace sweet potatoes with pumpkin or butternut squash if your dog prefers different flavors. Ground turkey can be substituted with ground chicken or beef.
  • Vegetable Options: Feel free to experiment with different vegetables, such as carrots, zucchini, or spinach, to add variety to your dog's meals.
  • Storage: Store the mixture in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, or freeze portions for longer storage.
  • Serving Size: Adjust the serving size based on your dog's size, weight, and activity level. It's recommended to consult with your vet to ensure this meal meets your dog's specific nutritional needs.
  • Cooling: Make sure the food is completely cooled before serving to prevent burns and ensure freshness.
  • Allergies: If your dog has any known food allergies, modify the recipe accordingly to avoid any harmful reactions.
