Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and spray with cooking spray.
- In a small bowl, combine the turkey puree, breadcrumbs, garlic, if using, Italian seasoning, and salt and pepper, if using. Stir until just combined.
- Roll the turkey mixture into small balls about 1 inch in diameter each. Place on the prepared baking sheet, leaving 1 to 2 inches between the meatballs. You should be able to make about 12 meatballs.
- Spray the tops of the meatballs with cooking spray or brush with oil, if desired. (This helps them brown in the oven.) Bake for 8 to 12 minutes, until lightly browned and warmed through.
- Let cool slightly and then serve warm or store until ready to use. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3 to 5 days or in the freezer for 4 to 6 months.

BABY FOOD: MINI TURKEY MEATBALLS (8 MONTHS +)
Contains egg products: Always check with your pediatrician. I was so excited when my daughter, P2, got her teeth, alas, it was only two. I held off of starting her on the more solid meats, but now that she's 12 months old, she eats these like crazy. Granted, she still only has two teeth LOL. I just cut these up into little manageable pieces and don't take my eyes off of her. They freeze really well too!

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400°F.
- In a small bowl combine breadcrumbs, rice cereal and herbs, tossing with fingers until well combined. Set aside.
- Place lean ground turkey into a mixing bowl. Add carrots, celery, onion and breadcrumb mixture. Mix into the meat and combine well. Add beaten egg yolk and enough water/veggie puree to moisten the mixture just to bind it (may not need all of it so add in batches).
- Form 1tabp of meat mixture into meatballs.
- 5. Add a bit of water or marinara sauce in the bottom of a glass baking dish, about 1/3 cup. Line baking dish with single layer of meatballs, about 1 inch apart. Be sure not to over crowd dish or they will fall apart. Bake until lightly browned, about 25-30 minutes, flipping them once during the cooking process to insure they've cooked thoroughly. If you notice the are getting to dark, cover with tinfoil. You don't want them to burn or become tough.
- To freeze, let them cool completely. Transfer in single layer (you can stack meatballs, just place parchment paper in between each layer to prevent them from freezing together) in a airtight container. When ready to eat, place in a microwavable dish, add a bit of water, and loosely cover and cook for 1 minute.
- Serve with marinara sauce.

BABY FINGER FOOD - BABY MEATBALLS
This one is really easy and kids will love it. You can also sub baby cereal (mixed with half water/half formula) for the mashed potatoes. Serve with a little tomato sauce and soft, cooked pasta. It is recommended for babies that are 8 months and older, but they also advise speaking to your pediatrician before starting your baby on solids. Also, remember to follow the RULE OF FOUR (wait 4 days after introducing new foods) and make sure your baby has had no allergic reactions to any of the foods in this recipe before serving it!
