Rubric v2.1 grade (healthy adult, format-aware source axis): A+ 98 if the Turkey recipe is feeding-trial substantiated, A 94 if formulated.
This is the baseline grade for a healthy adult dog. In the app the grade re-computes for your dog: life stage, weight, breed size, and conditions can move it (a food not labeled for a growing puppy is capped, for instance).

AAFCO statement. UNVERIFIED per-recipe. TFD's own site states 'The Farmer's Dog has multiple recipes bearing the AAFCO feeding trial statement' and 'All of our recipes are 100% complete and balanced for dogs in all stages of life' — but whether the TURKEY recipe specifically carries feeding-trial vs formulated-to-profiles could not be verified. (UNVERIFIED (feeding-trial or formulation))
