Below is an ingredient list and supply list: (I've included Amazon affiliate links to some of them, especially the ingredients and equipment I ordered from Amazon myself!)

To ensure you have what you need on hand, here is the basic ingredients:
One whole Turkey (I used a 14lb turkey for this cat food recipe)
White Rice - for this cat food recipe I used 4 cups. Some people use oatmeal, and this is optional, but my cats LOVE white rice.
Pumpkin - I used roasted pumpkin (homegrown), but canned pumpkin puree will also work. DO NOT use pumpkin pie filling - cats shouldn't eat sugar. With 14 lbs of turkey, I use about 6-8 cups. This is really good for cat digestion and urinary tracts.
Ground Flax Seed - for this cat food recipe I used 2 cups. This is for protein, fiber, and healthy fats that cats need, and it thickens the food right up - it looks a bit soupy at first. Make sure it is finely ground. Brown or golden flax seed meal will work. Whole flaxseed: https://amzn.to/3Sugr9t Ground flaxseed: https://amzn.to/48FE844
Nutritional Yeast Flakes - for this cat food recipe I used 1 cup - https://amzn.to/3OaeQ5W
Green Beans - for this cat food recipe I used one 2-lb bag (frozen)
Eggs - for this cat food recipe I used 8 large eggs (whole)
Toasted Wheat Germ - for this cat food recipe I used 1/2 cup. https://amzn.to/3u26feQ

Do not use salted or seasoned anything in your cat's food - too much salt really damages their kidneys, and common human seasonings like garlic and onion actually destroy cat's red blood cells. Yikes! It's a short ingredient list, relative to commercial cat food.

Here is a list of some of the equipment I use in this video along with links to them on Amazon:

High Power Blender: Here is the one I use: https://amzn.to/47KGNrW
Refurbished Blender (this is what I ordered 8 years ago and still going strong): https://amzn.to/4binrO2
Vitamix Dry Grains Container: https://amzn.to/3Od7eja
Food Processor: https://amzn.to/3S5scBL (this wasn't nearly as effective as the blender)
