Turkey Leftovers Treat Bites
These homemade turkey treats are an easy way to share the holiday spirit with your dog. Made with plain cooked turkey, dog-safe vegetables, and a touch of cheese, they’re a simple, healthy alternative to rich holiday leftovers.
Cook Time 15 minutes mins
- 3/4 cup cooked turkey chopped
- 1/2 cup dog-safe veggies
- 1/4 cup shredded cheese
- 1/4 cup sesame seeds
- 1 unbaked loaf of bread or pizza dough
Preheat the oven to 375°F.
Roll out the dough and cut it into 3″ circles with a cookie cutter.
Combine the water and flour in a saucepan, stirring until the flour dissolves. Heat on medium until the mixture thickens.
Add the turkey and vegetables. Cook until the mixture is thoroughly heated.
Simmer for a few minutes.
Spoon one to two teaspoons of the turkey-veggie mixture onto each circle.
Fold up the sides and pinch shut. Roll into a ball shape.
In a separate small bowl, mix the cheese and sesame seeds.
Roll or sprinkle each ball with the cheese-sesame seed mixture.
Arrange the balls on a baking sheet and cook for 10-15 minutes, until golden brown.
These store in the refrigerator for up to four days.
For dogs with allergies, skip the cheese or dough and serve the filling alone as a soft snack.
