Provided by Kishka

Categories Poultry

Time 1h

Yield 30 fingers

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 lb ground turkey
2 medium carrots
1 large apple
1 garlic clove
1/2 small onion
1/2 egg, beaten
1/4 cup unprocessed natural bran
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme, crushed
salt & pepper (optional)

Steps:

Preheat broiler.
Place ground turkey in a large mixing bowl.
In a food processor or by hand, grate the carrot, apple, garlic & onion, or else mince very finely (I grated the carrots using a microplane, but minced the apple, onion and garlic for texture). Add to bowl with turkey.
Add the 1/2 beaten egg (or whole egg for older kids), bran, thyme and any seasonings you wish. Mix all ingredients together.
Scoop mixture up about 1/4 cup at a time (size of a large meatball) and roll into little sausage shapes, placing on a broiling pan or cookie sheet as you go (you may need to do two pans worth). Wet your hands periodically if it's sticky.
Place in broiler and broil for 10-15 minutes on one side, then turn over and broil 5-10 minutes more.
Remove and let cool. Store together in a freezer bag or individually wrapped in foil.
Enjoy!

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.

Cute Edible Apple Turkey (Thanksgiving Treat) image

Provided by NcMysteryShopper

Time 5m

Yield 1 Turkey

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 apple
1/4 cup Fruit Loops cereal (if using Fruit Loops you will need a few raisins for the neck) or 1/4 cup raisins (if using Fruit Loops you will need a few raisins for the neck)
6 -7 mini marshmallows
7 -11 toothpicks
1 green olives
2 cloves

Steps:

To make the feathers: Take raisins or Fruit Loops and slide onto toothpicks about 3/4 the way down. Place a mini-marshmallow on the end. You will need 6 or 7 "feathers" depending on the size of your apple.
Stick the "feathers" into the back of the apple.
To make the head: Slide raisins down toothpick and top with a green olive (head). Use cloves for eyes. If your olive has a pimiento you can pull it out the back of the olive and let it hang so that it looks like a turkey wattle.
Insert three toothpicks under the turkey so it can stand freely.
