One Pot Thanksgiving Dinner - A simple and quick recipe making use of the Thanksgiving foods.
Leave out Meat for babies 6-8 months, unless your pediatrician has given the go-ahead for meats.
On Thanksgiving Day, you may also take a piece of cooked turkey and combine it with the veggies being served to create Baby’s Thanksgiving Dinner.
Ingredients:
1 cup of Turkey – uncooked ( some breast or leg meat )
1/2 cup peeled and cubed winter squash
1/2 cup peeled and cubed white potato
1/2 cup peeled and cubed sweet potato
1 small handful of fresh or frozen cranberries**
Directions:
Combine all ingredients in a medium sized sauce pan
Add 2 cups of water and bring to a gentle boil. Turn heat to low; simmer on low for 20 minutes or until turkey is no longer pink and veggies may be easily pierced with a fork.
Transfer cooked One Pot Thanksgiving Dinner to a large mixing bowl and mash or chop as needed. Process in a blender or food processor if needed for babies who do not like lumps and textures. This will freeze nicely if pureed.
** Cranberries may be a bit acidic and could give a baby a rash. We would recommend leaving out the cranberries if your little one is sensitive to foods and/or is under 8 months of age! **

That’s such a sweet idea. Sounds tasty, too. And tidy. In fact, I’m thinking about one big pot for everyone!
…no, I guess that wouldn’t fly. Must have that roasty flavour.
Thanks for the recipe!

LOL! what a wonderful idea – to make this for the whole family and be done with it all!
Now that’s thinking
But you are right, the roasty flavor would be missed as well as the wonderful smells wafting from the oven!
