Ingredients
Method
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Cook the turkey turkey bacon in a skillet over medium heat until very crisp, then drain on paper towels and let cool completely.
- Finely crumble the cooled turkey turkey bacon into small bits.
- In a medium bowl, combine the whole wheat flour and shredded cheddar cheese, tossing to coat the cheese evenly.
- Stir in the crumbled turkey turkey bacon.
- Add the eggs to the bowl and mix with a sturdy spoon or your hands until a thick, slightly sticky dough forms.
- 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.
- If the dough is too wet and sticky, sprinkle in an extra tablespoon of whole wheat flour and work it in until manageable.
- Lightly flour a clean work surface and turn the dough out onto it.
- Roll or pat the dough to 1/4-inch thickness.
- Use a small cookie cutter or a knife to cut the dough into bite-size training pieces.
- Arrange the pieces on the prepared baking sheet, leaving a little space between each treat.
- Bake for 18 to 20 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the treats are set.
- Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the treats cool on the pan for 5 minutes.
- 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.
