Turkey Jerky Dog Treat Recipe – Left Over Turkey


Here’s a great way to use that left over turkey and share with your favorite pooch. It’s a simple recipe with little effort!

Turkey Jerky Dog Recipe:

1 or 1-1/2 lbs. dark or white COOKED Turkey.

Thinly slice and place on a cookie sheet on the highest rack in the oven.

Bake @ 150 degrees or 170 for electric ovens.

Bake with door slightly open for 2 hrs. Don’t burn! If browning, oven is too hot. Turn the oven down or turn it off for 1/2 hour then turn it back on.

Test the jerky after 2 hrs. It should be crispy NOT leathery and NOT moist or tender.

Cool and then store in an airtight container for 2 wks.

Enjoy my furry friends!

Sounds like what happens when I try to cook a turkey, period!

I did not need it last year, but very welcomed this year. Our Thanksgiving was long ago but for Charlie turkey it is.

 

[Lucky Penny]

Oh Charlie is in for a big surprise!

Is this a way to dehydrate meat? It sounds nice and simple. I'm guessing it could be used with fish, beef and other poultry too?

 

[Jersey's Mom]

might have to give this a try... thanks!

Sorry I forgot to thank you for sharing. Charlie will love it, he is losing his mind over small peace of chicken right now.

 

[Rainheart]

I agree, I'll have to try this, too!

Going to give it a try, only issue is the door being left open for two hour's. Abby will have to go to puppy jail.

We fry our turkeys but if there's any left I'll try it with some of the inside meat.We use a dehydrator instead of the oven tho.Make jerky of all kinds for the pups & me but never tried turkey thanks

 

[Waggily Tail]

Thanks for the recipe. Just took the turkey jerky out of the oven. Maggie loves it. Bill tried it and said - hmmm, not bad, one for me, one for Maggie.
I may get a dehydrator. Any suggestions re brand?

 

[Jersey's Mom]

Well, that was super easy and worked like a charm! Now do I store this in the refrigerator or no?

This is funny, I did this today with some venison and then saw this. Chester is a hopeless eater and having tried for days to get him to eat his kibble I needed to do something before he got ill, he does, he's stubborn! I really thought he would give in but after just a few occasional mouthfuls he would give me a dreadful look and skulk off with a 'hmmph' noise! So I dried out some venison until they looked like almost burnt shrivelled morsels and then I put it in a blender to turn it into a heavy powder. All I have to do is sprinkle half a small spoonful under his kibble and half on top and ...it's all gone, including the kibble! So if you need a food enhancer for fussy eaters or ill dogs, blend it after drying it out It works like magic and goes a long way!

 

[Lucky Penny]

I love all of the results! I had to laugh when I read humans liking it too! I hope no dogs stuck their nose in the oven! This is a way for dehydrating meat, I haven't tried other meats. I am sure those would work. Like elly, said, she used venison! (good to know about the blender trick!) Capt Jack, where did you get your dehydrator?

 

[Lucky Penny]

Bumping up for today!

I got my small one from wal-mart & it works great! 5 trays & I make jerky everytime a lean meat goes on sale.
I also have a Smokin Tex stainless smoker that does good but we mostly use it for smoking fish(lots of tuna) Dogs like the parts of that that gets too dry too!

Speaking from the medical side..please please be careful..some dogs cannot tolerate turkey. We have seen some cases of pancreatitis in dogs after eating turkey. I would do small amounts at first.( If your dog has never had tummy issues) ..if they have had sensitive tummies or pancreatitis I wouldnt even give it. And definitely NO PORK products at all (ham, pork chops..)

Sorry just had to put that out there!
