Turkey and rice is a dish that can calm an upset stomach. In this case, the fewer the ingredients, the better. It is commonly used when food allergies are suspected in humans or dogs. Before preparing for an animal, be sure and verify the exact amounts of each part of the recipe with a qualified veterinarian. This dish can be made with or without accompanying vegetables. It can be treated as individual ingredients, or a soup. White rice or brown rice can be used, though each adds a different taste and texture. Water may need to be added when reheating.
