Yield: 18 mini meatballs
Calories: 45kcal
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground Lean Beef or ground chicken or ground turkey
- 1 large Egg note 1
- 4 tablespoons Rolled Oats
- ⅓ cup Grated Carrots
- ⅓ cup Grated Zucchinis squeezed out water
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, add lean ground beef (or chicken or turkey), egg, rolled oats, grated carrots, and grated zucchini.
- Stir to bring all the ingredients together and form a sticky meat batter.
- Scoop out the meat batter with a tablespoon and roll into mini meatballs between hands. If sticky, lightly oil hands with oil.
- Place the meatballs on the prepared baking sheet and bake them at 350°F (180°C) for 15-20 minutes, flipping them halfway. Bake until crispy on the edges and cooked and warm in the middle. The meat should not be pink anymore.
- Serve lukewarm and plain as a dog treat or as a meal with cooked wholegrain pasta or cooked rice.
Storage
- Store leftovers in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Freeze dogs' meatballs in freezer bags for up to 1 month.
Notes
Note 1: For dog egg allergies, try one tablespoon of flax meal stored in 3 tablespoons of lukewarm water. This is a healthy addition to dog food to keep their skin and coat shiny due to its high amount of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids.
