Ingredients
  

  • 4 lbs Raw ground Turkey Make sure to check fat content on the package
  • 1 5/8 cups Raw quinoa
  • 2 ½ tsp Coconut Oil
  • 2 ½ tsp Safflower Oil
  • 2 ½ tsp Salmon Oil
  • 1 1/8 cups Raw Green Beans
  • 1 1/6 cups Raw, chopped broccoli
  • 1 ¾ cups Raw Cabbage
  • 1 1/6 cups Raw Celery
  • 2 2/3 Cups Raw spinach leaves
  • 7/8 cup Raw, chopped Zucchini
  • 1 cup Raw, chopped Apple with skin
  • 7/8 cup Blueberries raw

Instructions
 

  • In a large, deep saucepan, cook the ground turkey until lightly brown. Cooking large amounts of ground Turkey may require regular, intermittent mixing to ensure that it is evenly cooked. Set aside once done.
  • In the same saucepan, add coconut oil and let it heat
  • Add the green beans first as they take time to cook.
  • After cooking the beans for a few minutes, mix in the chopped broccoli, cabbage, celery and zucchini. Let them cook until partially softened
  • Add the quinoa and water in the ratio of 1:2. This means for every 1 cup of raw quinoa, you need 2 cups of water.
  • Mix in the Spinach
  • Let it cook until the quinoa becomes fluffy. Pour in safflower and salmon oil once the quinoa is cooked
  • Once ready, mix in the Turkey, chopped apples and Blueberries while giving it a good mix

Notes

  • Cooking a large amount of raw ground turkey may be quite exhausting as it requires continuous stirring and mixing. Boiling is a great way to tenderize and cook large amount of ground meat. Stirring becomes a lot easier and the meat is cooked evenly.
  • You can use the broth to cook quinoa and the veggies
  • You can keep the chopped fruits separate and add them right into the dog’s bowl while feeding them.
  • Be sure to remove the apple seeds, as they are toxic to dogs
  • Store three days' worth in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Freeze remaining food in three-day portions. Defrost in the refrigerator on the first day of use.
