So I had this turkey carcass in my freezer from two Thanksgivings ago. I set out to make a big pot of Turkey & Rice soup, but while the bones were simmering, the smell in the kitchen was, well, not quite fresh. I could only surmise that the bones had freezer burn.
Crooksie made it clear that whatever I was cooking, he wasn’t going to eat.
Which left me with a whole pot of broth and a few cups of deboned turkey meat by the time I was done. I didn’t think the broth tasted bad at all, but once my husband makes up his mind, I’ve learned long ago he wasn’t going to change it. I needed a Plan B.
Dog biscuits, of course.
Here’s my simple recipe that was actually fun to make. I didn’t have any cute doggie bone cookie cutters, but my pizza cutter worked just fine. Louie, our Golden Retriever, wouldn’t care anyway. Even better, he loves them!
Turkey & Oatmeal Dog Biscuits
Ingredients
- • 1 3/4 cups whole wheat flour
- • 2 1/2 cups quick cooking oats
- • 1 teaspoon baking powder
- • 1 cup turkey (or chicken) broth
- • 1 1/2 cups shredded turkey (or chicken)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease cookie sheets, use parchment paper or a silpat.
- Mix the dry ingredients in a large bowl and set aside.
- Add broth and turkey to blender (I used a Magic Bullet) and blend until smooth.
- Add the meat mixture to the dry ingredients and mix well.
- Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead. Dough will be thick and a bit hard to work with.
- Cut into desired shapes using a cookie cutter or a pizza cutter.
- Place onto cookie sheets. No need to give each biscuit alot of room. They won't spread.
- Bake about 25 minutes until hard.
- Cool completely.
