Freshly made turkey & cranberry patties – turkey is a great source of protein and iron for bub and the family. A great babyledweaning first food. We introduced turkey around 6mo the easiest way was forming turkey mince/ground into round patties, easy to pick up with small hands, nibble, suck or eat. Ava loves these turkey patties. We used minced cranberries, turkey mince, sage and breadcrumbs soaked in full fat milk to make the patties nice and soft for gums to chew.

- 2 tablespoons of minced cranberries – no sugar (try your health food shop or supermarket)
