Turkey blanquette recipe for babies (from 6 months)<\/h2>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
Blanquette is usually a saucy dish, but today we’ll make it as a puree for baby. From 6 months, your little one can enjoy it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Carrot, rich in vitamins and loved by babies, will be our main ingredient. We’ll add a small potato to create a smooth and creamy consistency. Mushrooms will be blended with a bit of fresh cream… but I won’t reveal everything just yet. Let’s dive into the recipe!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Here’s what you’ll need to prepare this turkey blanquette recipe for babies (From 6 months, makes 2 portions of 7 oz (2 portions of 200g)):<\/p>\n\n\n\n
- \n
- 7 oz carrots (peeled) (200g)<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
- 1.8 oz potato (peeled) (50g)<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
- 3.2 oz button mushrooms (90g)<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
- 0.5 oz rice (uncooked) (15g)<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
- 1 oz turkey fillet (adjust quantity based on age) (30g)<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
- 2 teaspoons of fresh cream<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

Let’s start with the rice. Simply boil mineral water and cook the rice according to the instructions on the packet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"Rice](\"https:\/\/www.cookingformybaby.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/rice-for-babies.jpg\")
Don’t use too much water for such a small amount of rice. Also, keep the rice cooking water if your baby experiences colic. You can give it to them in their water bottle or even mix it with their milk to provide relief.<\/p>\n\n\n\nNext, let’s focus on the carrots. Wash, peel, and cut them into thin slices (about 0.5mm thick for quick cooking).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Next, prepare the potato. Wash, peel, and slice it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"Potato](\"https:\/\/www.cookingformybaby.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/potato-for-baby-1.jpg\")
We’ll now cook the carrots and potato. If using a pressure cooker like the Cookeo, set it to 8 minutes of pressure cooking. For steaming, allow around 11 minutes. Let’s get started!<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhile the vegetables cook, let’s handle the button mushrooms. Rinse them under running water, remove the stems, peel the top layer of the cap, and slice them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
![\"Mushrooms](\"https:\/\/www.cookingformybaby.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/mushrooms-for-babies.jpg\")
Once the vegetables are cooked, leave them in the steamer and add the mushrooms. If using a pressure cooker, cook for an additional 4 minutes under pressure. If steaming, allow 7 minutes. Let’s go!<\/p>\n\n\n\nNow, let’s take care of the turkey. Cut it into small 1.5cm cubes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once the vegetables are fully cooked, add the turkey to the steamer and let it steam for an extra 4 minutes (no need to pressure cook again). Make sure the meat is fully cooked and no longer pink in the middle.<\/p>\n\n\n\nOnce everything is cooked, including the rice, here’s what you can do:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
- \n
- For a 6-month-old baby:<\/span> Blend everything into a smooth puree, adding some vegetable cooking water gradually until you reach the desired consistency. Don’t forget to add the fresh cream.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- From 8 months onwards, only if your baby is ready for some texture:<\/span> Blend the carrot and potato into a fine puree separately, and blend the mushrooms, turkey, and cream together. This way, you’ll have a textured puree with smooth carrot and potato, mushrooms, meat, and rice.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Your turkey blanquette recipe for baby is now complete, and your little one can enjoy it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Bon app\u00e9tit, baby!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
