How to Make Baby Finger Food Apple Turkey Loaf Or Sticks
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a small loaf pan or prepare a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, gently combine the cooked ground turkey, applesauce (or grated apple), egg, blended oats, breadcrumbs, and cinnamon (if using).
- Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly combined. The mixture should be moist but not too wet.
- If making loaf, transfer the mixture into the prepared loaf pan and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until cooked through and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- If making sticks, shape the mixture into small, finger-sized sticks and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake the sticks for 20-25 minutes, turning halfway through, until cooked through and slightly browned.
- Allow the loaf or sticks to cool completely before slicing and serving to your baby. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
