Notes
Tips
- Save the turkey giblets from your turkey.
- Toss the neck (because it has bones) and keep the liver, kidney, and heart.
- You don’t need to cook these the day you cook your turkey. You can store raw giblets in the fridge for a couple days before cooking, if needed.
- Once cooked, store in an airtight container in the fridge for up a week.
- Giblets are organ meats, which should not make up more than 10% of your dog’s daily diet. So, spread out giblets throughout the week.
- Use cooked giblets as a food topper or high reward treat.
