Baby Finger Food Apple Turkey Loaf Or Sticks Recipes

Steps:

• Place ground turkey in a large mixing bowl.

• 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.

Steps:

• Peel, core and dice apple into bite sized (small) pieces.
• Place apple pieces in microwave safe dish and add 2 tablespoons water.
• Microwave apple on High 1-3 minutes.
• Check on it and stir every 20-30 seconds or so until it reaches desired tenderness.
• When apple is cooked and soft enough for baby to eat, remove from microwave and sprinkle with as much or as little sugar and cinnamon as you wish. (My personal experience has been that the younger the child the more bland they like it but it's up to you!).
• Let apple cool completely or until slightly warmer than room temperature and serve.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375.
• Lightly coat a baking sheet with olive oil and set aside.
• Combine all remaining ingredients and mix well.
• Before mixing, add seasonings if you like - garlic powder, pepper, basil & oregano for example.
• Shape mixture into nuggets or fun shapes such as squares or squigglies etc.and place on baking tray.
• Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, turning nuggets over after 15 minutes. Serve warm.
• Be sure to crumble these if your baby needs.
• (Note: If your baby cannot have eggs, you can substitute a jar of vegetable puree. Carrot works well).
• These may also be frozen for up to a week. Reheat in oven the same way you prepared them and allow plenty of time to cool before serving them to your little one.
