Turkey purée is a great example of food that you can cook for yourself but also share with your baby.
If you cook a roast turkey (or a chicken, the recipe is exactly the same) at the weekend, save about a cup of the clean breast meat to make into this baby meal. Perfect for little ones aged 7 months and upwards. Make sure to remove any skin (especially if you salted it), and just used the meat. It's a great way to use up leftovers. Alternatively you can buy turkey breasts and cook them yourself - poaching them is easiest, or wrapping in foil and baking until cooked through. Then you simply need to whizz up the meat and slowly add water to it to reach the right consistency for your baby.

Top tip for making turkey purée
If you're using up leftovers you can add other things to the turkey purée if they are age-appropriate. Simply boiled carrots or parsnip are easy to add in. Potatoes are great as well, as long as they have not been heavily seasoned.
