It's all protein without a bunch of stuff added to it like seasonings so it has a mild flavor, plus ground turkey has a soft texture. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dont-laughcan-i-just-brown-ground-turkey-and-give-to-my-8-month-old#post-2177336 Wed, 13 May 2015 17:24:13 +0000 PinkElephant 2177336@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For anyone worried ground turkey/beef is too tough for their LO, you can marinate it with corn starch, water, and a teeny bit of soy sauce (to make it not taste corn starchy) and it'll get super soft and tender when you cook it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dont-laughcan-i-just-brown-ground-turkey-and-give-to-my-8-month-old#post-2177333 Wed, 13 May 2015 17:21:42 +0000 Mrs. Pickles 2177333@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>we used to make LO little plain hamburger patties like half a golf ball .. we called them baby patties and he loved them </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dont-laughcan-i-just-brown-ground-turkey-and-give-to-my-8-month-old#post-2177320 Wed, 13 May 2015 17:12:02 +0000 SweetiePie 2177320@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Rainbow Sprinkles: would you mind walling me your homemade taco seasoning? ;-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dont-laughcan-i-just-brown-ground-turkey-and-give-to-my-8-month-old#post-2177311 Wed, 13 May 2015 17:01:06 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 2177311@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@SweetiePie: I'd stick with plain for now too. :) I think the pre made packaged seasonings have too much sodium for babes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dont-laughcan-i-just-brown-ground-turkey-and-give-to-my-8-month-old#post-2177309 Wed, 13 May 2015 16:58:52 +0000 SweetiePie 2177309@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Too many to reply to on phone but he's loving it plain right now!<br /> @Rainbow Sprinkles: you bring up a good point about sodium. This is just Ortega mix so it might be too salty for him? Maybe I'll stick with plain for now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dont-laughcan-i-just-brown-ground-turkey-and-give-to-my-8-month-old#post-2177297 Wed, 13 May 2015 16:53:42 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 2177297@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Of course! Seasoning is okay, too! I make a homemade taco seasoning, and it's not spicy and low in sodium so I always gave it to my babies at a young age. I bet he will love it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dont-laughcan-i-just-brown-ground-turkey-and-give-to-my-8-month-old#post-2177292 Wed, 13 May 2015 16:48:53 +0000 DillonLion 2177292@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mmm can I come over? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dont-laughcan-i-just-brown-ground-turkey-and-give-to-my-8-month-old#post-2177286 Wed, 13 May 2015 16:43:15 +0000 birdofafeather 2177286@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>yep! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dont-laughcan-i-just-brown-ground-turkey-and-give-to-my-8-month-old#post-2177282 Wed, 13 May 2015 16:40:25 +0000 Mrs. Oatmeal 2177282@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! Out daughter LOVED ground meat at that age! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dont-laughcan-i-just-brown-ground-turkey-and-give-to-my-8-month-old#post-2177280 Wed, 13 May 2015 16:39:29 +0000 SweetiePie 2177280@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@catomd00: thanks ;-) I've never given him any kind of real food before so I just don't know what's normal!<br /> I have given him pouches with seasoning and meat so I guess it makes sense I could give him the seasoned meat too. I'm just so nervous! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dont-laughcan-i-just-brown-ground-turkey-and-give-to-my-8-month-old#post-2177276 Wed, 13 May 2015 16:38:23 +0000 SweetiePie 2177276@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@autumnlove: Thank you for being quick and not making fun of me.

Seasoning is okay, too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dont-laughcan-i-just-brown-ground-turkey-and-give-to-my-8-month-old#post-2177272 Wed, 13 May 2015 16:37:35 +0000 autumnlove 2177272@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, you can. :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dont-laughcan-i-just-brown-ground-turkey-and-give-to-my-8-month-old#post-2177270 Wed, 13 May 2015 16:36:56 +0000 SweetiePie 2177270@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My son is 8 months old and has mostly just had chunky purees. I've been cutting soft fruit and giving puffs as well.<br /> I'm making turkey tacos for dinner and wonder if I can give him some of the plain unseasoned cooked turkey?<br /> I know this might be a really stupid question. I blame being a FTM and not cooking much :-) </p>
