Ingredients
- 1 lb of leftover turkey, with bones and skin removed
- ½ cup rolled oats
- 2 eggs
- 2 tbsp plain low-fat yogurt
- 1 cup mixed veggies (we used carrot, peas, and green beans)
- ¼ cup fresh parsley
Instructions
Preheat oven to 400º
Pop leftover turkey into the bowl of your food processor and pulse a couple time to break up the meat.
Add the rolled oats and pulse until well-combined and no large pieces appear.
Add the egg and yogurt and pulse until the mixture just starts holding together.
Transfer mixture to a large bowl.
Add your veggies and parsley and mix with your hands until incorporated.
Roll into 1” balls and place on a parchment-lined cookie sheet.
Bake for 20 minutes or until just becoming golden around the edges.
Notes
Too much sodium isn’t good for your dog. Removing the turkey skin helps remove the salt and seasonings from baking.
