Limited Ingredient Duck

Ingredients

• 1 lb ground duck (90% lean)
• 2 cups cooked white rice
• 1 large sweet potato (about 1.5 cups mashed)
• 1 cup finely chopped green beans
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tsp iodized salt
• 1/4 cup bone meal powder
• 2 fish oil capsules (1000mg each, EPA+DHA)
• 1 tsp zinc methionine (100mg elemental zinc)
• 1/2 tsp vitamin E (400 IU)
• 1/4 tsp kelp powder (iodine source)
• 1/2 tsp taurine powder (500mg)

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Peel and dice the sweet potato, then boil or steam until very soft, about 15-20 minutes.
3. In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground duck thoroughly until no pink remains, breaking it into small crumbles, about 8-10 minutes.
4. Drain excess fat from the cooked duck and set aside to cool slightly.
5. Mash the cooked sweet potato thoroughly in a large mixing bowl.
6. Add the cooked duck, cooked rice, chopped green beans, and olive oil to the bowl and mix well.
7. Sprinkle the bone meal powder, iodized salt, kelp powder, zinc methionine, taurine, and vitamin E over the mixture and stir until evenly distributed.
8. Pierce the fish oil capsules and squeeze the oil into the mixture, discarding the gel caps, then stir again.
9. Divide the mixture into portions based on your dog's weight and caloric needs.
10. Refrigerate portions in airtight containers for up to 5 days, or freeze for up to 3 months.
11. Warm refrigerated portions slightly before serving to enhance palatability.
