Ingredients

  • 40g ground turkey
  • 2 tbsp rolled oats
  • 1/4 apple, peeled and finely grated
  • 120 ml water
  • 1 tsp olive oil (optional)

Preparation

  1. Cook ground turkey in a separate pan, breaking apart clumps until it reaches 74°C (165°F).

  2. Peel and core apple, grate finely and add to oats and water in a clean saucepan.

  3. Simmer, stirring, until oats are fully soft and apple is tender; add safe water as required.

  4. Mix finely crumbled turkey into the oat mash and blend further if needed.

  5. Add optional olive oil, check for meat clumps and cool before serving.

Serving by Age

Keep the porridge moist and finely textured with no tough turkey fragments.

8 months+

This recipe is listed for 8m+, so the 6m+ field does not recommend serving it earlier. Within the listed age range and when your baby can manage the texture, mash or blend to a smooth purée when a smoother texture is needed, ensuring the oats and turkey are very soft and fully broken down.

9 months+

Serve as a soft, thick porridge with small, tender bits; mash lightly if needed to suit chewing ability.

Allergen Information

Plain ingredients have no intentionally added major allergen; oats may have gluten-grain cross-contact.
