Description

A homemade Turkey & Cranberry Dog Chews recipe that’s festive, healthy, and easy to make. Perfect for including your dog in holiday celebrations with nutritious ingredients like lean turkey and antioxidant-rich cranberries.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground turkey (lean or extra lean)
  • 1/2 cup dried cranberries (unsweetened, no added sugar)
  • 1/4 cup rolled oats (optional, for added fiber)
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground turkey, dried cranberries, oats (if using), and the egg. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly distributed.
  3. Add a tablespoon of coconut oil if the mixture feels dry or if you want extra moisture for your dog’s coat health.
  4. Spread the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, pressing it down to an even thickness of about 1/4 to 1/2 inch.
  5. Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 20-30 minutes, or until the chews are firm and cooked through.
  6. Remove from the oven and let the chews cool completely before cutting them into strips or bite-sized pieces.
  7. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week, or freeze for up to three months.

Notes

  • Use unsweetened cranberries without added sugar, as sweetened varieties are harmful to dogs.
  • Adjust the size of the chews depending on your dog’s size.
  • Consider dehydrating the chews after baking for a longer-lasting, chewier texture.
  • These treats should be given in moderation.
