Jarred sweet potato puree combines with tiny pieces from your family turkey to make a quick holiday taste treat cfor babies 6 months and up. For a healthy, hearty toddler meal, place the rough mash in a small ovenproof dish, top with cheese, and bake at 350° until cheese is melted, about 5 minutes. Allow to cool thoroughly before serving in a child-friendly dish.

Ingredients


•     1 tsp olive oil or vegetable oil

•     1/8 cup diced onions                                                  

•     1/4 cup finely chopped roast turkey                                        

•     1/8 cup finely chopped cooked peas (fresh or frozen)

•     1/4 cup water

•     pinch finely chopped rosemary    

•     4 oz sweet potatoes puree (jarred or homemade)



Directions


1. Heat the oil in a small pan over medium heat. Add the onions and sauté until soft, about 2 minutes. Mix in the roast turkey, peas, rosemary, and water. Bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.

2. For babies 6 - 9 months, puree the whole meal in a blender. Add extra water if necessary. For older babies, roughly mash the mixture in the pan with a potato masher.

3. Warm Plum Organics Sweet Potatoes separately and fold into final blended or mashed mixture. Allow to cool, then serve.
