This is GREAT as a training treat or to add to your high premium food (I feed Innova Evo and my guys always get a little of this in it).

Turkey/Chicken Loaf for Dogs
2 pounds ground turkey  (I used Chicken)
1/2 cup cooked mixed vegetables  (I used 1/2 can drained green beans, have used up to 1 can)
1 T. garlic powder
1 egg, beaten
1/2 cup barley  (parboil)
1 cup quick cooking oats  (I used normal, and it was fine)
1/2 cup canned low-fat gravy

Preparation -
Grease a 9" loaf pan; set aside. In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground turkey, vegetables, garlic powder, egg, barley and oats. Mix the ingredients together well and place the mixture into the prepared loaf pan. Press the mixture to flatten and level, then use a table knife to cut a few shallow slits on top. Pour the gravy over the loaf and bake in a preheated oven at 350° for 1 to 1-1/4 hours or until nicely browned on top. Cool, then cut the loaf into about six slices. Wrap in plastic wrap or foil and store in the refrigerator. To feed - Break the slices into bite-size pieces.

raw is better...remember dogs are carnivores and although they can tolerate carbs better than cats it is still not advisable.

www.rawdogranch.com  looks like the best option I've seen for dog diets...

It may surprise you to hear that dogs aren't totally meat-eaters. In a pack situation, when a wolf pack, for example, brings down a prey animal, the leaders (Alpha's) who have first crack at eating, don't go for what we might have considered the best parts. Instead, they go for the stomach, where pre-digested grains and grasses can be found. For essential vitamins and minerals, they eat the heart, liver, etc.  Wolves in the wild exist on a well-balanced diet. Dogs also like to munch on grasses, although they can't digest it in that form. This is different, though, than dogs eating rough grasses in an attempt to relieve dietary distress.

Im for home cooked or a high quality kibble diet, but not raw for many reasons that I won't go into. Just MY opinion.

Unfortunately MAMA Pebbles, you are incorrect.

Kibble is just as poisonous for dogs as it is for cats. Bad bad kibble...responsible for causing SO many illnesses in our pets! Kibble is just junk food garbage for pets and no pet should be eating it. Period.

Grasses are a different matter but they are NOT vegetables and THAT IS WHAT I WAS REFERRING TO IN THE PREVIOUS RECIPE IN MY PREVIOUS COMMENT!!!!
