Dog Sweet Potato Jerky Treats Recipe 395

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 250° F Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Cut off one side of the sweet potato lengthwise, as close to the edge as possible. Cutting the side of the potato first allows you to then turn the potato onto this flat surface that you have just created. Having a stable area to rest the potato will make it easier to cut the potato into slices. Don't discard that first piece, it comes out just as yummy as the rest! Cut the rest of the potato into 1/3" slices, no smaller than 1/4". Place them on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 3 hours, turning half way through. Cool completely on a wire rack. Storing - Although these treats are dried, you will want to keep them in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks. You can freeze them for up to 4 months.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Prick sweet potato several times with a fork.
• Heat sweet potato in a microwave on high until tender, about 6 minutes. Cut potato in half and scoop flesh out of the skin into a bowl; discard skin. Mash potato with a fork or potato masher and transfer about 1 cup to a large bowl. Save any remaining sweet potato for another use.
• Mix whole wheat flour, applesauce, and eggs in the large bowl with the sweet potato until a dough forms. Turn dough out on a well-floured surface and roll dough to about 1/2-inch thick. Cut out shapes using a cookie cutter or cut dough into strips with a pizza cutter. Arrange cookies on an ungreased baking sheet.
• Bake until crisp, 35 to 45 minutes. Cool in the pans for 10 minutes before removing to cool completely on a wire rack.

Steps:

• 1. Purchase chicken or turkey breast strips that are on sale. Only use white meat, because the dark meats are too full of fat to dehydrate properly (too greasy). 1/2 lb. might be enough for one Potato. Freeze about 30 minutes - they will be easier to slice. Slice them length-wise into thin strips - so you can wrap them around the potato strips
• 2. Peel raw Sweet Potato Cut lengh-wise into thin strips (julianne cut, like for thin fries) (Depending on how many you want to make - use two or three potatoes and more meat strips.)
• 3. Wrap a strip of chicken or turkey around each potato strip OPTIONAL: sprinkle with garlic powder for flea preventative, if your dog likes garlic. Fill up your dehydrater - OR - place on cookie sheet in your oven at about 150-190 deg.
• 4. Dehydration time: approximately 6 - 7 hours. Not sure in the oven. check them after 3 hours. bend one, and see if any moisture is present. If so, keep them in the oven. test after 6 hours to be sure they have no moisture in them. I usually keep mine frozen, and take a few out for the dogs for the week. I give them one in the afternoon as a snack before their night feeding.
