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:

• 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.
