TURKEY & SWEET POTATO TREATS FOR DOGS
®
This recipe can be served at any time of the year but they make wonderful treats at
Thanksgiving so you can include your dog in the festivities. They are also attractive
treats and packaged with clear cellophane and a ribbon, will make great gifts for
friends with dogs. Makes about 36 treats.
2 cups of turkey, cooked
1 cup sweet potato, cooked until soft
1- 1/2 cups oatmeal, dry, uncooked
Shred or chop the cooked turkey so that it's in small pieces. Put the turkey and water
into the food processor or blender until a thick paste. There should be no meat
chunks. Add the sweet potato and molasses to the meat and puree until a thick
paste. Pour or spoon the mixture into a large bowl. Add the oatmeal and mix well.
The dough should not be too wet or runny; if it is, add a little more oatmeal. Spoon
the dough onto the dehydrator rack by teaspoonful. Place a cranberry on top of each
treat, pressing it in slightly so that the berry stays on the treat. Leave treats in the
dehydrator for four to five hours or until thoroughly dry but not crispy.
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Treats will be good for about three
weeks. To give as a gift, place the treats (cranberry side up) on a decorative holiday
paper plate. Wrap in clear or holiday colored cellophane and gather the cellophane
at the top of the plate. Tie the gathered cellophane with a holiday colored ribbon.
Variations: Use fresh or frozen blueberries instead of cranberries. Use cooked
potatoes instead of sweet potatoes.

KEALY'S FAVORITE FOR DOGS
Kealy is a tiny Pomeranian with a fluffy, golden coat. Kealy really likes this recipe and
when I have some in my training treats bag, she follows me around, sitting pretty in
front of me, in hopes that I will give her more!
Makes about three dozen treats, depending upon the size of the treats you make.
2 cups chicken, cooked, chopped into small pieces or finely shredded
1/2 cup applesauce, unsweetened, no cinnamon
1/2 banana
Put all the ingredients in a blender or food processor and puree until a thick paste.
Drop by teaspoonful onto dehydrator racks. (Smaller spoonfuls for small dogs and
larger spoonfuls for bigger dogs) Treats will need 3 to 5 hours in the dehydrator
depending upon the size of the treat. (The outside of the treat will be dry and the
inside soft.) When done, let treats cool on the rack. Store in an airtight container.
Treats should be refrigerated if not fed to the dog within several days. They will
be fine in the refrigerator for a couple of weeks. Excess treats can be frozen. Two
to three treats for a small dog; four to five for a larger dog. Variations: Any of
