Ingredients
- 1 turkey breast tender (about 3/4 pound)
- 1 small sweet potato, peeled and cubed
- 15 baby carrots
- 1/2 cup cranberries
- 1/2 apple, peeled and cubed
- 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Place turkey in a steamer over boiling water. Sprinkle thyme over it. Cook for 6 minutes.
- Add sweet potatoes, carrots and cranberries to the pot with the turkey. Cook another 6 minutes or until turkey is cooked though and vegetables are tender.
- Cool turkey for several minutes, so the juices can redistribute and then cut into cubes.
- Place all the ingredients in a food processor and puree. Add some of the water from the pot, a tablespoon at a time to make smooth.
- Cool and serve.

Notes
- Texture Tailoring. Customize the texture to fit your baby’s weaning stage. Smoother for the younger ones, a bit chunkier for those ready to tackle more textures.
- Introduce Spices Gradually. Gently introduce the Thanksgiving spices. Start with just a pinch of cinnamon and thyme, and build it up based on your baby’s budding taste preferences.
- Storage and Freezing: Make life easier by whipping up batches and stashing them in airtight containers in the fridge for up to 3 days. Or freeze individual portions for future!
- Mix it Up: Feel like getting creative? Add in other baby-friendly Thanksgiving goodies like mashed pumpkin or butternut squash for a nutrient-packed twist.
