Baby’s first Thanksgiving dinner
For baby’s First Turkey Dinner, run a little bit of turkey and sweet potatoes or squash through a food mill.
Mix the turkey blend with applesauce until the desired consistency is reached. If your baby is old enough, add a little cranberry sauce to the mix.

Tired toddler tip
