Apple Turkey Fingers (For Older Infants & Toddlers) - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 lb ground turkey
2 medium carrots
1 large apple
1 garlic clove
1/2 small onion
1/2 egg, beaten
1/4 cup unprocessed natural bran
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme, crushed
salt & pepper (optional)

Preparation

Preheat broiler.
Place ground turkey in a large mixing bowl.
In a food processor or by hand, grate the carrot, apple, garlic & onion, or else mince very finely (I grated the carrots using a microplane, but minced the apple, onion and garlic for texture). Add to bowl with turkey.
Add the 1/2 beaten egg (or whole egg for older kids), bran, thyme and any seasonings you wish. Mix all ingredients together.
Scoop mixture up about 1/4 cup at a time (size of a large meatball) and roll into little sausage shapes, placing on a broiling pan or cookie sheet as you go (you may need to do two pans worth). Wet your hands periodically if it's sticky.
Place in broiler and broil for 10-15 minutes on one side, then turn over and broil 5-10 minutes more.
Remove and let cool. Store together in a freezer bag or individually wrapped in foil.
Enjoy!
