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.
