Is he getting any muscle meat at all? Remember bones should only be made up of 25% of the total diet. Offal, only 10% of the total diet. How much does Baxter weigh?
Bones are no more a choking hazard than kibble. He just has to be supervised while eating. If he tends to scoff his food without much chewing, you can take a mallet to help crush it a bit.
You can try mixing in some of the offal and tripe into cubed meat. You may also want to add a bit more variety such as chicken giblets, beef heart, kidney, and brain.
As for fish, have you tried feeding frozen whole sardines and mackerel?
And careful with the turkey, some dogs have problems digesting turkey neck as the bones are larger and harder.
