I decided I would not let homemade baby food get the best of me so I have kept trying. Prayse loves this recipe that I made today. I like it because it has lean protein, fruits, and veggies in one recipe. I tried it too, not too bad!
Ingredients:
1 lb ground turkey
1 whole egg or two egg yolks, beaten
1/2 cup pureed carrots
1/4 cup applesauce
1/4 cup unprocessed natural wheat or oat bran
1/4 cup bread crumbs
pinch of basil
pinch of garlic powder
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 mixture appears too web, add more bran and/or bread crumbs.
Place mix into a lightly oiled (olive oil) loaf pan. Bake at 350F for approx 45 minutes. You may want to cover to keep the top from burning. When finished baking and cooled, remove loaf from pan and slice as you would bread. Break into small bits for finger feeding or mash and chop gently.

Oh my goodness. I think you just gave me a reason to stop crying about baby food. I was starting to really stress out because Elle is so picky with food. I haven’t given her meat yet but what a great recipe to start feeding her meat. Thanks for sharing. I’ll let you know how it goes over with us. I might be able to feed the big kid(hubby) as well with this recipe:)

Mmmm….I may need to make this. The Cop has a meatloaf recipe that he either can’t remember or refuses to share. He might be pleasantly suprised with this! Thanks!

I made this for Ben tonight and he LOVED it. Plus, we have enough left to freeze for the rest of the week! Great job!
