Ingredients
  

  • 200 g zucchini, chopped
  • 150 g ground turkey
  • 1 medium carrot, peeled and chopped
  • 300 ml low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • A pinch of dried thyme optional

Equipment

  • Blanching pot (for broccoli)
  • Chef's knife
  • Large mixing bowl
  • Blender or food processor
  • Steamer basket (or pot for boiling)

Method
 

  1. In a pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat and add the ground turkey. Cook until browned, about 5 minutes.
  2. Add the chopped zucchini and carrot to the pot along with the chicken broth. Bring to a boil and then reduce to a simmer.
  3. Cover and let it cook for 20 minutes, or until all vegetables are tender.
  4. Once cooked, allow the mixture to cool slightly before transferring to a blender or food processor.
  5. Blend until desired texture is reached, adding extra broth if you prefer a smoother puree. For a chunkier texture, blend less.
  6. If using, sprinkle in dried thyme and blend just to combine.
  7. Serve in small portions; let cool before feeding to babies. Store any leftovers in airtight containers in the refrigerator.
