Keep your dog healthy and fit with this easy homemade recipe.
Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 cups brown rice
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 3 pounds ground turkey
- 3 cups baby spinach, chopped
- 2 carrots, shredded
- 1 zucchini, shredded
- 1/2 cup peas, canned or frozen
Instructions:
- cook rice
- heat olive oil in a large stockpot over medium heat
- add ground turkey and cook until browned, about 3-5 minutes, making sure to crumble the turkey as it cooks
- stir in spinach, carrots, zucchini, peas and the cooked brown rice, until the spinach has wilted and everything is heated through
- allow to cool completely
Once you’ve made up a batch, you can divide it into single servings, and freeze it. When you are ready to serve, you can defrost it overnight in your refrigerator and warm it for 15-30 seconds in your microwave.
