Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 5 strips turkey turkey bacon cooked until very crisp, drained, and finely crumbled
  • 1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
  • 1/2 cup cheddar cheese finely shredded
  • 2 large eggs

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Cook the turkey turkey bacon in a skillet over medium heat until very crisp, then drain on paper towels and let cool completely.
  3. Finely crumble the cooled turkey turkey bacon into small bits.
  4. In a medium bowl, combine the whole wheat flour and shredded cheddar cheese, tossing to coat the cheese evenly.
  5. Stir in the crumbled turkey turkey bacon.
  6. Add the eggs to the bowl and mix with a sturdy spoon or your hands until a thick, slightly sticky dough forms.
  7. If the dough is too dry and crumbly, add water 1 teaspoon at a time, mixing after each addition, until it holds together like soft dough.
  8. If the dough is too wet and sticky, sprinkle in an extra tablespoon of whole wheat flour and work it in until manageable.
  9. Lightly flour a clean work surface and turn the dough out onto it.
  10. Roll or pat the dough to 1/4-inch thickness.
  11. Use a small cookie cutter or a knife to cut the dough into bite-size training pieces.
  12. Arrange the pieces on the prepared baking sheet, leaving a little space between each treat.
  13. Bake for 18 to 20 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the treats are set.
  14. Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the treats cool on the pan for 5 minutes.
  15. Transfer the treats to a wire rack and cool completely before serving or storing.

Notes

- Store completely cooled treats in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 to 4 days.
- For longer storage, refrigerate for up to 7 days or freeze in a zip-top bag for up to 2 months.
- Break treats into pea-sized pieces to use as high-value training rewards.
- Always introduce new treats slowly and adjust your dog’s regular meals to account for extra calories.
