Prepare the Ingredients:

1. Cook the Rice:
   • Start by cooking the rice. In a medium-sized pot, add 1 cup of brown rice and 2 cups of water (or chicken broth). Bring it to a boil, then lower the heat, cover, and let it simmer for 30-35 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed. Set aside to cool.
2. Cook the Turkey:
   • While the rice is cooking, heat a large skillet or pan over medium heat and add the ground turkey. Cook the turkey for about 10-15 minutes, breaking it up with a spatula as it cooks. Ensure that the turkey is fully cooked through, with no pink spots.
3. Add the Vegetables:
   • Once the turkey is cooked, add the chopped spinach, peas, and carrots to the skillet. Cook for an additional 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender and cooked through.

Combine the Ingredients:

4. Add Rice and Oil:
   • Stir the cooked rice into the skillet with the turkey and vegetables. Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil or coconut oil for added healthy fats. Mix well to combine all the ingredients.
5. Add Optional Flaxseed:
   • If you’re using ground flaxseed, sprinkle it into the mixture and stir it in. This adds extra fiber and omega-3 fatty acids, which are great for your dog’s skin and coat.
6. Cool the Mixture:
   • Allow the mixture to cool for 10-15 minutes before serving it to your dog. This helps to avoid burns and ensures that the food is safe to eat.

Serve the Turkey, Rice, and Greens Dog Food:

7. Portion the Food:
   • Depending on your dog’s size, portion out the food into appropriate serving sizes. You can feed smaller dogs ½ to 1 cup per meal, and larger dogs 1 to 2 cups per meal.
8. Store Leftovers:
   • If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. You can also freeze the food in portions for up to 3 months. Just be sure to let it cool completely before storing it.
