Q: I am curently cooking a turkey in the oven, but I don't plan to use the innards for gravy or anything, so how do I cook them so they're safer for my dog than just raw? There's four pieces, and I can only be 100% sure about the liver. I assume the long bumpy one is the gizzard (the neck, isn't it?), the dark small one is the heart, but I'm lost as to what the other small one (lighter red/pink) is. Do I just boil them? I'm just pretty sure I'm not supposed to use the microwave to cook them, but I'm lost otherwise. in response to an anwer: I know that my dog wouldn't CARE (heck, he'd eat chicken bones if I let him, but I don't, because they splinter once they're cooked), I just don't want to give him some kind of food poisoning. Unlike a person, he won't run to the bathroom to throw up. And that's really something I don't want to step in...
A: sure, my dog will eat anything.
