Wendy's Basic Bulk Recipe

Makes 12 servings

I make this big bulk recipe twice a month. My boys love it! To each serving, I add 1/4 cup frozen blueberries for the antioxidants. The cottage cheese adds protein as well as natural calcium, which is easy for dogs to digest. This recipe will keep in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or in the freezer for up to 1 month.

3 tablespoons corn oil 1 pound ground turkey
4 chicken thighs, boiled, skin and bones removed, and shredded 28 or 30 ounce can organic tomatoes
28 or 30 ounce can no-salt-added green beans
14 1/2 or 15 ounce can crushed pineapple
15-ounce jar unsweetened applesauce
1 cup rolled oats
1 cup cooked brown rice
28 ounce can pumpkin
1/2 cup plain wheat germ
1 cup chopped fresh parsley, or 1/3 cup parsley flakes
16-ounce container cottage cheese

1. In a large stockpot over medium to medium-high heat, heat the oil. Add the turkey and cook for 10 to 15
    minutes. When the turkey is cooked through and starting to brown, add the chicken and cook until browned.
    Drain off the fat.

2. Add the tomatoes, green beans, pineapple, applesauce, oats, rice, pumpkin, wheat germ, and parsley. Bring to
    a boil, reduce the heat, and simmer for 5 minutes or until the oats are tender.

3. Let cool, stir in the cottage cheese, and serve.
