How to Make Baby Finger Food Apple Turkey Loaf Or Sticks

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a small loaf pan or prepare a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, gently combine the cooked ground turkey, applesauce (or grated apple), egg, blended oats, breadcrumbs, and cinnamon (if using).
  3. Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly combined. The mixture should be moist but not too wet.
  4. 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.
  5. If making sticks, shape the mixture into small, finger-sized sticks and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
  6. Bake the sticks for 20-25 minutes, turning halfway through, until cooked through and slightly browned.
  7. 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.
