My recipe is modified from this site for Munchie who has heart disease:
http://catinfo.org/?link=makingcatfood
3 pounds of poultry thigh meat/bones/skin (If using Boneless add the eggshell or bonemeal powder)
Liver - add 4 ounces of chicken livers per 3 lb of meat/bones/skin. * For future recipes I am probably going to give 2oz of Liver and 2oz of Kidney as I feel they need the variety of the organs)
1/2 cup water (or, preferably, more if your cat will eat it with more water)
2 eggs - use the yolk raw but lightly cook the white
5000 mg fish oil Do NOT use cod liver oil!
400 IU (268 mg) Vitamin E (powdered E in capsules is the easiest to use)
50 mg Vitamin B-complex (capsules or tablets)
2,000 mg taurine (use powdered - either in capsules or loose)
3/4 tsp Morton Lite salt with iodine (contains potassium and sodium - make sure that it contains iodine) (½) teaspoon of eggshell or bone meal powder is needed per pound of meat and organ ONLY if using Boneless meat
My Additional Supplements for Munchie's specific needs for arthrits, bladder and heart health.
2 Glucosamine MSM Tablets 1500mg (so he gets 250mg per day)
Lysine 12 scoops (needs 1 scoop twice a day) 500mg per day so 6000mg is what is needed
2,000mg additional Taurine
400 I.U. addition Vit E
It calls for 1 cup of water but that made it really liquidy so next batch am just going to do 1/2 cup of water. I put the water in a bowl, then added the eggs and all the supplements and stirred until they dissolved, then added that to the meat mixture and liver, and then blended it up using my Ninja processor.
Munchie my 15# cat needs 2oz per meal twice a day.

Zoey's Mix
So little Miss Zoey (4# chihuahua) is extremely picky when it comes to organs. So I make her up a mixture of everything she needs for a balanced diet. I still give her boney meals a couple times a week alternating between rabbit, cornish hens and whole prey mice. The she gets either chicken, pork, beef, turkey, fish, duck for her other meals that are made into little ice cube shaped cubes. Zoey loves these little cubes and what she doesn't know is that she eats the organs without problems......won't hurt her :-) Here is my 'recipe' that I use for her:
14oz meat (beef, chicken, pork, turkey, duck, fish)
4oz beef heart or chicken or rabbit hearts whatever I can find
or 1# Meat
1 oz Liver I use beef or chicken liver.
1 oz Other Secreting Organ kidney, spleen, thymus, pancreas, lung, testicles, or brains. I mostly used Beef Kidneys as that is what was readily availabe. I am running low on it so I am going to have to go hunt down some other organs.
1 sardine
1/2 teaspoon ground egg shell
1 raw egg
1 fish oil capsule (1000mg)
2 & 1/2 Vit E (400IU) Capsules
2 oz Vegetables/Blue Berries (I use these as antioxidants for Zoey since she has so many health issues). I mainly use pumpkin, spinach, broccoli. Notice if you feed Prey Model Raw, the veggies are usually omitted. But after research I decided to include this small amount as she needs the antioxidant properties of them.
Here is her meat thawing
14oz meat (beef, chicken, pork, turkey, duck, fish)
4oz beef heart or chicken or rabbit hearts whatever I can find
or 1# Meat
1 oz Liver I use beef or chicken liver.

I put everything into the Ninja and chop/mix it up.
Here it is portioned out in the cubes. After they are flash frozen, I put them into snack bags and then into a gallon sized ziplocked labeled with what meat it is.
They are a little more than 1oz per cube, Zoey gets 1 cube twice a day.

Salmon Oil Supplementation
Unless you are feeding meat/food that is entirely grass fed you should be supplementing with Salmon Oil or Fish Oil, as foods are deficient in fatty acids otherwise. I feed Prey Model Raw and supplement with Nupro & Salmon Oil, & Vitamin E.
http://dogaware.com/diet/ supplements.html An important source of omega-3 essential fatty acids. Omega-3 EFAs are beneficial to the immune system, the nervous system, the heart, and help stop inflammation, such as in arthritis and allergies. They also support brain development of puppies and fetuses. This is probably the most important supplement to give, no matter what you feed, as Omega-3 EFAs are hard to find even in a natural diet, and are highly perishable when exposed to heat, light or air, so they do not survive in commercial foods even if added. Omega-3 EFAs are found in fish body oil, not liver oil. One form of omega-3 fatty acids called ALA is found in flax seed oil, but dogs cannot use ALA unless it is first converted to EPA. At best, dogs convert 15% of ALA to EPA, and some dogs may not be able to make this conversion at all. For this reason, fish oil is a much better source of omega-3 fatty acids for dogs than flaxseed oil.
Recommended dosage is 1000 mg fish oil (containing 300 mg combined EPA/DHA) per 30 pounds (14 kg) of body weight. Maximum dosage for dogs with health problems would be 1000 mg fish oil (300 mg EPA/DHA) per 10 pounds (4.5 kg) of body weight. You can also use sardines in place of fish oil supplements; one small sardine supplies over 100 mg EPA/DHA.
Vitamin E should also be given whenever oils are supplemented (even small amounts are adequate, but highest recommended dosage would be 100 IU per day for small dogs, 200 IU for medium-sized dogs, and 400 IU for large dogs). Note that fish oil is not the same as cod liver oil, which is high in vitamins A and D.
