% of dry matter, for comparing across foodsA turkey meal, and the purest turkey taste of our turkey meals. Turkey thigh and turkey breast are the only meat; chicken hearts, egg, a little chicken liver, pumpkin, and a spoonful of rice complete it. It is built for turkey lovers, and for cats that need a rotation away from chicken but should stay on poultry: all the meat is turkey, so the change of taste is clean, while the chicken hearts and liver keep a familiar note. There is no fish on the plate; the omega-3 fats come from salmon oil added at serving. The organs are chicken on purpose: chicken hearts and liver are easy to find fresh all year, while turkey organs rarely are. Among our turkey meals, this is the one with no second protein and no fish, so the change of taste from our other families of recipes is a considerable one. Most of the nutrition comes from the whole foods; supplements only complete what they cannot cover. It follows the proportions of a prey diet, mostly muscle meat with a little organ and a calcium source, and meets the FEDIAF, AAFCO, and NRC profiles for both variations.
