Ingredients

  • 40g turkey breast, diced
  • 1/2 small potato (about 70g), peeled and chopped
  • 40g green beans, trimmed and finely chopped
  • 2-3 tbsp water or low-sodium homemade stock
  • 1 tsp olive oil (optional)

Preparation

  1. Peel and dice potato. Wash and trim green beans, removing tough strings, and chop finely.

  2. Steam or simmer potato and beans until both crush easily with a fork; beans may take additional time.

  3. Cook diced turkey separately until the centre reaches 74°C (165°F); shred finely.

  4. Mash vegetables with cooked turkey, using a little safe water or unsalted stock to keep the mixture moist and cohesive.

  5. Stir in optional olive oil, check for stringy beans or chewy turkey and cool before offering.

Serving by Age

Serve a moist, spoonable mash or soft manageable pieces suited to developmental skills. Check for chewy meat fibres. Do not offer firm, round or hard pieces.

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 or slightly textured puree when a smoother texture is needed, adding a little cooking water to loosen.

9 months+

Serve as a thicker mash with very soft small lumps, ensuring green beans are finely chopped and tender.
