If you let me know the exact amount of the ingredients I can make up a recipe on nutritiondata.com so you can substitute calorie for calorie but kibbles can be 200-500 calories per cup and a turkey and rice cooked diet might be a similar range of calories. And it isn't just calories, the extra fat can upset the tummy.
I guess you might figure 8 ounces of ground turkey to be 2-3 ounces by dry weight so 8 ounces of turkey plus 2 ounces of raw rice to be equivalent to 4-5 ounces of kibble but that is really a reach. 2% of her weight is actually quite a good estimate if the food is fatty. Sassy needed about 3% of her weight in food daily as she didn't get much fat.
Add some bone meal to the food, 900 mg of calcium per pound of meat should do it. An ounce of beef liver per pound of meat is really a good thing too and if you could feed beef more than poultry there would be a better balance of minerals.
Sassy's teeth were far cleaner on home cooked chicken and rice than they were on kibble. I was amazed. You could try letting her chew on a raw meaty bone every so often after her mouth is healed as well. I wish my dogs would work on pig feet but they won't so I gave them BBQ or back beef ribs and during her last year I was forced to buy beef ribs whenever we went to a BBQ joint and bring the bones home for Sassy as she didn't care for raw any longer. She could still pull off the soft stuff just fine, I think she liked the salt and sugar of the sauce so was holding out.
Consider using lots of meat in that cooked food. On 28% protein cooked food Sassy got stronger. Until she was 16 years old she was walking a mile daily in spite of suspected degenerative myelopathy. I don't know that her muscle mass actually increased like Max's did on a raw diet but it is so important for dogs to stay on their feet as long as possible.
