Turkey Pumpkin Gelatin Dog Treats

Ingredients
  

  • ¼ pound lean ground turkey (I use 99% lean)
  • Water, enough to fill the pot (will need to reserve 1/2 cup)
  • ¼ cup 100% pure pumpkin purée
  • Plain, unflavored gelatin powder (If using KNOX, you'll need 1 packet. If using Great Lakes, you'll need 1 tablespoon)

Method
 

  1. Put ground turkey into a pot and fill with water (enough to cover).
  2. On medium/high heat, let cook for about 15 minutes.
  3. Leaving your freshly made turkey broth in the saucepan, transfer the cooked turkey and pumpkin purée into a blender. Puree until smooth. Set Aside. 
  4. Measure 1/2 cup of warm turkey broth and transfer to a mixing bowl. Add gelatin powder and whisk until the gelatin is fully dissolved.
  5. Stir the pureed turkey and pumpkin mixture into the gelatin-laden broth until smooth. It should have a gravy-like consistency.
  6. Place two silicone molds onto a baking sheet for support and spoon the mixture into each mold, filling to the top.
  7. Move to the refrigerator for 2 hours, or until fully set. 
  8. Remove wiggly, jiggly treats from the mold. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator up to 4 days. 

Notes

  • Don’t feed your dog store-bought Jell-O or gummy treats, which are filled with extra additives that aren’t good for dogs.
