Turkey is a great first meat for baby. It's easy to digest and the dark meat is high in much needed iron. Making your own baby food is quite easy, and turkey is no exception! I recommend freezing what you don't use within a day or two, that way you'll have little meals at the ready whenever baby is hungry! Store for up to 1 day in the refrigerator or freeze for later use.

Recipe Instructions
Step 1
Place turkey drumstick in a saucepan and add just enough water to cover. Cover and bring to a boil over medium heat. Reduce heat and simmer until turkey is no longer pink and cooked all the way to the bone, about 40 minutes. Remove from heat and, with the lid still on, set aside until turkey is cool enough to handle, about 20 minutes.
Step 2
Remove turkey from the saucepan, reserving the cooking liquid. Remove and discard skin. Pick turkey meat from the bone and place in a food processor or blender.
Step 3
Add cooking liquid to the food processor, a few tablespoons at a time, and blend until turkey is rather smooth, adding more stock as needed. Serve.
