Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 oz Turkey breast
- 1 cup Fresh cranberries
- 1 medium Sweet potato, peeled and diced
- 1 cup Water
- 1 teaspoon Olive oil (optional)
Instructions
Rinse the turkey breast under cold water and pat it dry with a paper towel.
Peel and dice the sweet potato into 1-inch cubes.
Place the turkey, cranberries, and sweet potato into a medium saucepan.
Add 1 cup of water to the saucepan and bring to a boil over medium heat.
Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and cover the saucepan with a lid.
Simmer the mixture for 20-25 minutes, or until the sweet potato is fork-tender and the turkey is fully cooked (internal temperature of 165°F/75°C).
Remove the saucepan from heat and let the mixture cool slightly for 5-10 minutes.
Transfer the cooked ingredients, along with any remaining cooking liquid, into a blender or food processor.
Blend until smooth and creamy. Add a small amount of additional water if necessary, to adjust the consistency for your baby's needs.
For added creaminess and a nutritional boost, you can stir in a teaspoon of olive oil (optional).
Allow the puree to cool completely before serving to your baby.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or freeze in small portions for up to 1 month.
