*Makes 4 servings*
1 c chicken broth
1/2 c rice
4 slices turkey bacon
2 large eggs, beaten
1/2 c bread crumbs
Salt and pepper

In a medium saucepan, bring the chicken broth to a boil over high heat. Add the rice, lower the heat and simmer until tender, about 15 min. Transfer to a medium bowl and let cool.
While the rice is cooking, cook the bacon over medium heat in a skillet until crisp, about 5 min; drain on paper towels. Finely chop the bacon and add to the cooled rice. Reserve the skillet.
Mix the eggs and bread crumbs into the rice mixture; season with salt and pepper. Shape into 4 equal size patties.
In the reserved skillet, heat the olive oil and bring to medium heat. Add the rice cakes and cook for 4 min on each side. Let cool for 10 min before serving to your pooch or the humans. Top the human patties with sour cream and salsa.
