Toddler Finger Food Apple Turkey Sticks - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 lb ground turkey
1 whole eggs or 2 egg yolks, beaten
1/2 cup pureed carrot
1/4 cup applesauce
1/4 cup unprocessed natural wheat or 1/4 cup oat bran
1/4 cup breadcrumbs
1 pinch basil
1 pinch garlic powder

Preparation

Place ground turkey in a large mixing bowl.
Add the egg/yolk, carrots, applesauce, spices, bread crumbs and bran.
Mix well - If this mixture appears too dry, add more carrots or applesauce. If this mixture appears too wet, add more bran and/or bread crumbs.
Place mix into a lightly oiled (olive oil) loaf pan and bake at 350F for approximately 45 minutes or until an inserted knife comes out clean. **You may wish to cover with foil to prevent the top from burning
When finished baking and cooled, remove loaf from pan and slice as you would for bread. Break into small bits for finger feeding or mash or chop gently.
