Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 25 minutes
Yield: 8–10 pup pies (depending on size)

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup cooked, shredded turkey breast (unseasoned)
  • ½ cup plain canned pumpkin (not pie filling)
  • 1 egg
  • ½ cup rolled oats
  • ½ cup whole wheat flour
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil or coconut oil

Optional: a sprinkle of parsley for garnish (fresh breath + fancy touch)

Directions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, mix the shredded turkey, pumpkin, egg, oats, flour, and oil until well combined. The dough should be thick but slightly sticky.
  3. Roll small balls (golf-ball size for big dogs, smaller for little ones) and flatten slightly into mini pies.
  4. Place them on the baking sheet and bake for 20–25 minutes, until firm and golden on the bottom.
  5. Cool completely before serving — unless you enjoy the smell of singed nose hair from an impatient taste tester.

Storage: Keep in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 3 months.

Serving Suggestion: Top with a dollop of plain Greek yogurt for a “pup whipped cream” moment your dog will lose their mind over.
