Hi all, I am gonna jump in here. I buy 1lb pkgs of ground turkey at Aldi's. It is 69 cents a pound there, so I know it's loaded with ground bone & skin. Regular store bought is stripped of fat, skin, & bone for the most part, to appeal to discriminating humans. When I cook this stuff, there is a lot of marrow in the finished product. And this discriminating human wouldn't eat it no way, no how. LOL! It is just so full of fat, marrow, and bone. YUM! YUM! It saves so much of the tedious part of making this. I then add the other goodies, run it thru the blender, and there you have it. All my ferrets eat it,along with kibble, and I must say, I have very few dehydration problems. Also, it's sooo important to have them accustomed to a soft food for when they get ill. As a side note...when they do get ill or after surgery, I blend in some AD. It is a 100% solution for me.
