Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams lean ground turkey
- 1 cup brown rice
- 1 medium carrot
- 1 small sweet potato
- 1 cup green beans
- 1 cup spinach
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
- 3 cups water
Instructions
Rinse the brown rice under cold water to remove any excess starch. Set it aside.
Peel the carrot and sweet potato. Dice both into small, dog-friendly pieces.
Chop the green beans into bite-sized pieces and roughly chop the spinach leaves.
In a large pot, heat the coconut oil over medium heat. Add the ground turkey and cook until fully browned, breaking it apart with a spoon as it cooks.
Add the rinsed brown rice to the pot, followed by the diced carrot and sweet potato. Stir briefly to combine.
Pour in the water and bring the mixture to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let it simmer for about 35 minutes, or until the rice is tender.
Add the chopped green beans and spinach to the pot during the last 5 minutes of cooking. Stir well to ensure the vegetables are evenly distributed.
Once cooked, remove the pot from heat and let the mixture cool completely before serving or storing in airtight containers.
Portion appropriately based on your dog's size and dietary needs. Refrigerate for up to 5 days or freeze for longer storage.
