BABY FINGER FOOD - APPLE TURKEY LOAF OR STICKS



Baby Finger Food - Apple Turkey Loaf or Sticks image

I found this recipe on wholesomebabyfood.com and I am posting it for safe keeping. It is recommended for babies that are 6 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!

Time 55m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 lb ground turkey
1 eggs or 2 egg yolks, beaten
1/2 cup carrot, pureed (baby food works well)
1/4 cup applesauce
1/4 cup wheat bran (unprocessed and natural) or 1/4 cup oat bran (unprocessed and natural)
1/4 cup breadcrumbs
1 pinch basil
1 pinch garlic powder

Steps:

  • Place ground turkey in a large mixing bowl.
  • Add the egg/yolk, carrots, applesauce, spices, bread crumbs and bran.
  • Mix well - If this mixture appears too dry, add more carrots or applesauce. If this mixture appears too wet, add more bran and/or bread crumbs.
  • Place mix into a lightly oiled (olive oil) loaf pan and bake at 350F for approximately 45 minutes or until an inserted knife comes out clean.
  • **You may wish to cover with foil to prevent the top from burning.
  • When finished baking and cooled, remove loaf from pan and slice as you would for bread.
  • Break into small bits for finger feeding or mash or chop gently for younger babies.
  • This recipe may also be made into "Turkey Sticks" for Toddlers and older babies who are able to handle more textured/chunky finger foods.

TURKEY BABY FOOD

Turkey is a great first meat for baby. It's easy to digest and the dark meat is high in much needed iron. Making your own baby food is quite easy, and turkey is no exception! I recommend freezing what you don't use within a day or two, that way you'll have little meals at the ready whenever baby is hungry! Store for up to 1 day in the refrigerator or freeze for later use.

Time 1h15m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 1

1 turkey drumstick

Steps:

  • Place turkey drumstick in a saucepan and add just enough water to cover. Cover and bring to a boil over medium heat. Reduce heat and simmer until turkey is no longer pink and cooked all the way to the bone, about 40 minutes. Remove from heat and, with the lid still on, set aside until turkey is cool enough to handle, about 20 minutes.
  • Remove turkey from the saucepan, reserving the cooking liquid. Remove and discard skin. Pick turkey meat from the bone and place in a food processor or blender.
  • Add cooking liquid to the food processor, a few tablespoons at a time, and blend until turkey is rather smooth, adding more stock as needed. Serve.
