We add a little ground turkey, all white meat and no skin with their dry food. Our Vet said that was fine. They love it and haven't had any problems. What is supposed to be wrong with turkey?

How about ground buffalo or ostrich? I can get both in my big chain grocery stores. I think rabbit might be a good alternative too, if you can get it. Ground turkey is probably ok, but introduce it slowly if she hasn't had any yet. I feed my two tilapia, perch, salmon, and canned tuna from time to time too.

Remember, you can always sub cottage cheese + eggs, as well as legumes or soy products for meat in some of the recipes. This should help give a little more variety, provided these things don't irritate her tummy.

To get your hands on venison, ask friends/family if they know anyone who hunts, or hunted and has the meat in a freezer. A guy I work with bow-hunts, and offered me some of his deer meat (for a small processing price). I ended up not getting it, because I didn't get back to him in time, but I think it would have been great for them! Oh well, next season
