Ingredients
  

  • 3 cups plain white rice fully boiled (no salt, butter, or seasoning)
  • 1 cup lean ground turkey fully cooked and drained (no skin, seasoning, or oil)

Equipment

  • Medium saucepan or pot (for rice)
  • Skillet or saucepan (for turkey)
  • Strainer (optional, to remove excess fat from turkey)
  • Measuring cups
  • Mixing spoon or spatula
  • Mixing bowl (to combine rice and turkey)

Method
 

Step 1:
  1. In a medium saucepan, add 1.5 cups uncooked white rice to 3 cups of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 15–20 minutes until the rice is soft and fully cooked. Do not add any seasoning, butter, or oil. Set aside to cool.
Step 2:
  1. In a non-stick skillet, add 1 lb of lean ground turkey (skinless, unseasoned). Cook over medium heat until the meat is browned and no pink remains, about 8–10 minutes. Drain any visible fat using a strainer or spoon. Allow to cool slightly.
Step 3:
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked rice and turkey using the 3:1 ratio (75% rice to 25% turkey). Mix thoroughly to ensure even distribution.
Step 4:
  1. Let the mixture cool to room temperature before feeding your dog. Serve appropriate portions based on your dog’s size and vet’s recommendation.

Notes

The ratio is approximately 75% rice to 25% turkey, ideal for dogs recovering from gastrointestinal upset.
