📝 Editor's Note

For a smoother texture, blend longer. You can also mix in some cooked sweet potato for added sweetness and nutrition. Always ensure the food is cool enough before serving to your baby.

🥕 Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup ground turkey
  • 1 cup frozen peas
  • 1 small carrot, diced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 cup low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme

👨‍🍳 Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat.
  2. Add ground turkey and cook until browned, about 5 minutes.
  3. Stir in diced carrots and chicken broth, then simmer for 10 minutes.
  4. Add frozen peas and thyme, cooking for an additional 5 minutes.
  5. Transfer mixture to a blender and puree to desired consistency.

🍴 Serving Suggestion

Serve warm, either on its own or mixed with a bit of whole grain cereal for added texture. Pair with soft fruit like mashed banana for a complete meal.

💡 Tips & Tricks

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. You can also freeze portions for up to 3 months. Adjust the texture based on your baby's chewing abilities by blending less for a chunkier consistency.
