Ingredients

  • 40g raw ground turkey
  • 1/2 cup peeled, deseeded pumpkin, evenly diced
  • 2 tbsp plain rolled oats
  • 1 cup (240ml) safe water or unsalted broth, plus extra as needed
  • 1 tsp olive oil (optional)

Preparation

  1. Peel and deseed pumpkin, remove stringy fibres and cut into small even cubes.

  2. Simmer pumpkin with measured safe water until beginning to soften; add oats and cook, stirring as directed by the oat packet until completely hydrated.

  3. Add ground turkey and break into fine pieces, simmering until the turkey reaches 74°C (165°F) throughout when checked with a food thermometer.

  4. Continue until pumpkin crushes under a fork, oats are fully cooked and no dry turkey crumbs remain; add safe water if thick or sticky.

  5. Blend or finely mash to a soft moist spoonable stew, stir in optional olive oil and cool before feeding.

Serving by Age

Serve a moist cohesive mash rather than dry turkey crumbs or stiff oat clumps. Ground turkey must be completely cooked and pumpkin soft enough to crush easily.

8 months+

Outside the recipe's recorded 8m+ age range; this field does not authorize earlier serving.

Moist thick stew with fully cooked fine turkey pieces, tender pumpkin and hydrated oats.

Allergen Information

Oats may have wheat, barley or rye cross-contact even though pure oats do not inherently contain wheat. Check any commercial broth for allergens and salt.

Storage

Cool untouched cooked portions promptly within 1–2 hours, refrigerate covered and use within 24 hours as a conservative baby-food approach, or freeze promptly. Reheat once until steaming hot throughout, stir and cool before feeding; discard feeding-bowl leftovers.
