The recipe
Starting 6 months
Prep time: 10 minutes | Cooking time: 25 minutes | Total: 35 minutes
- You can serve it as a side dish for Thanksgiving dinner or it is the great way to use up leftovers from your meal!
What you'll need for 4 servings of about 6 oz each
A small butternut squash, washed, peeled, cut in half lengthwise, scooped and sliced
1 small sweet potato washed and peeled, sliced
Optional: Half an onion, sliced
1 to 2 oz of turkey breast for each serving, cubed
Olive oil
Steps
Place the butternut, sweet potato and onion in the steam basket of a steamer or boil in water until soft about 15 to 20 mins.
If using a steamer, replace the vegetables with your turkey and cook for about 4 to 5 mins.
Add cooked vegetables to a blender and a tbsp of olive oil and blend until soft.
For younger babies or for spoon-feeding, you can blend the turkey with the vegetables. If a little older, you can blend it separately to add texture.
Tip: You can always cook just the portion of turkey that you need for one meal and serve it shredded next to the puree for a BLW approach.
This recipe uses sweet potato and butternut squash—two of our favorite fall vegetables—to make a creamy puree that will help your little one get their veggies in while keeping everyone happy at the dinner table. It’s easy as pie (or maybe more like stuffing?).
