Ingredients
Scale
- 8 oz cooked turkey, shredded (plain, no seasoning – lean protein for sustained energy)
- 1 cup sweet potato, cooked and mashed smooth (natural sweetness and vitamins)
- 1/2 cup low-sodium chicken broth (for smooth blending and extra flavor)
- 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt, unsweetened (probiotics and creamy texture)
Instructions
- Add shredded cooked turkey and mashed sweet potato to blender or food processor—colors look like autumn comfort food magic.
- Add low-sodium chicken broth gradually while blending until mixture is completely smooth and gorgeous orange in color.
- Blend for 2-3 minutes until no lumps remain and texture is perfectly creamy—your dog will start getting excited from the amazing aromas.
- Add plain Greek yogurt and pulse gently just until incorporated, creating beautiful marbled effect without overmixing.
- Pour smooth mixture into ice pop molds, filling each about three-quarters full to allow for expansion during freezing.
- Freeze for at least 4 hours until completely solid—if your pup can wait that long for frozen comfort food!
- Run molds under warm water for 30 seconds to release pops easily, then let your dog enjoy this refreshing summer meal.
Notes:
- Always use plain, unseasoned turkey to avoid harmful spices and seasonings
- Mash sweet potatoes while warm for smoothest blending texture
- Amber prefers these when they’re solid but allowed to soften slightly for comfortable licking
Storage Tips:
- Store in freezer for up to 1 month, wrapped individually to prevent freezer burn
- Label with dates since homemade treats don’t have preservatives
- Keep in main freezer compartment for consistent temperature and quality
