1. Preheat your oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper – trust me, this prevents sticking disasters.
2. Mix until your dog starts begging from the smell alone – combine ground turkey, grated carrot, pea puree, cooked quinoa, and egg in a large bowl. Use your hands for the best texture (if your pup can wait that long).
3. Form into small biscuit shapes about walnut-sized using your hands or a small cookie scoop. Make them smaller for little dogs, bigger for gentle giants like Amber.
4. Brush each biscuit lightly with coconut oil for that irresistible golden finish and extra healthy fats.
5. Bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown and firm to the touch – about 25 minutes for softer treats, 30 for extra crunchy ones.
6. Cool completely before serving – I know it’s torture when your dog is giving you those eyes, but hot treats can burn their mouths.

Notes:

• Always let cool completely – this isn’t just for safety, it also helps them hold together better
• Amber prefers these slightly soft, but you can bake an extra 5 minutes for crunchier texture
• Store in refrigerator for up to a week – no preservatives means shorter shelf life but way healthier

Storage Tips:

• Store in airtight container in the fridge for freshness
• Don’t leave these out – they’ll spoil without preservatives
• Freeze for up to 3 months (Amber loves them frozen in summer!)
• Toss if you see any mold – better safe than sorry
