Method
- In a pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the ground turkey and cook until browned and no longer pink, about 5 minutes.

- Cook for 10 minutes, then add the frozen peas. Continue cooking for an additional 5 minutes, or until both the potato and peas are very soft.
- Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
- Using a masher or fork, mash the mixture until you reach a smooth, mushy consistency suitable for your baby. If desired, mix in a sprinkle of mild herbs for added flavor.
- Serve in small portions, ensuring it is at a safe temperature before presenting it to your little one.

Notes
As you prepare this nourishing meal, feel free to swap ground turkey for ground chicken or lean beef based on your preference.
If potatoes aren’t on hand, sweet potatoes make a fantastic alternative with a bit more sweetness.
This meal can be made in bulk and stored in the fridge for up to three days or frozen for later use—simply reheat until warm and serve!
Encourage your little chef to explore different textures as they grow; mashing less for a chunkier meal is a great next step.
