Savory Turkey Muttloaf
This turkey muttloaf is chock full of flavorful and beneficial seasonings which you can read about here. The coconut milk gives these loaves a delicious moistness and nicely balances the flavors.
My but the kitchen smelled good while these were baking! The aroma kept Kirby's attention and he was already in his expected down position before I had set his plate on the floor. I made him pose for a picture and, when I was done, he didn't even bother to get up but instead leaned his face into the plate to slurp up every bite. He then circled the plate licking every inch hoping to find a missed morsel. I actually felt bad I couldn't give him more but we are watching his weight.
