Turkey and Cranberry Puree Recipe

Grandma will beam when she sees her little prince gobbling her signature roast turkey -- just hold the gravy. Start with 1 slice of cooked turkey and 1/4 cup canned cranberry sauce, then place turkey in a blender or food processor. Blend with water (one tablespoon at a time) until consistency is smooth. Add cranberry sauce until desired consistency.

For babies 7 months and up who are already used to eating solids and meats, you can also chop the turkey very fine using a food processor or chef's knife and serve up as is.

This recipe is ideal from 7 months+.

Put the turkey slice into a food processor and blend with the water/stock until as smooth as possible. Take care to add the liquid a little at a time – you don’t want it to be too runny!

Add the remaining ingredients and blend until smooth. Add a little more stock/water if the puree needs thinning.

You can add a little cranberry sauce to achieve that distinctive Thanksgiving flavour – but don’t overdo it, especially if your baby is very young – as it may upset his tummy!

If your baby is enjoying lumpy foods, then you can simply chop or mash the above ingredients. And if he prefers to feed himself, then cut the foods into bite size pieces and serve them as finger foods, along with a nice dollop of homemade, sugar-free cranberry sauce.
