Ingredient Wiki
Turkey Meal

Rice with only the inedible outer hull removed, so the bran and germ stay on the grain.

Barley polished to remove the hull and most of the bran layer, leaving a pale, quick-cooking grain.
Chicken Fat
Fat rendered from chicken tissue, used as an energy source and to make the food more appealing.
Oat Groats
