Nutritional Analysis
Approximately 175 kcal per 1/4 cup. Protein ~48% DM, Fat ~15% DM, Carbohydrates ~6% DM, Fiber ~2% DM. Cranberries provide proanthocyanidins that support urinary health. Turkey is naturally lean and rich in tryptophan and selenium.
🧊 Safety & Storage
Refrigerate up to 5 days or freeze up to 3 months. Serve at room temperature. Cranberries are tart — most cats accept them mixed with turkey. If your cat is prone to urinary issues, consult your veterinarian before adding new ingredients.
⚠️ Recipe Drift Warning
Cranberries contain compounds that may support urinary tract health — substituting with other fruits changes this benefit. Turkey provides high-quality lean protein. Taurine supplementation remains mandatory for all cat recipes.
