Weaning Diaries: Turkey Keema

As my son has his morning nap, I am marinating turkey mince for tonight's dinner. We are having Indian style turkey burgers using coriander seeds, cumin seeds, fennel seeds, black peppercorns, garlic and chopped coriander leaves. Chillis for my hubby dearest of course and less for my toddler. And what about baby? At the moment I have found what works best is making one meal for the family, so I have taken aside some turkey mince for him so that he can have some too!

He has never tried turkey, and its one of the easiest meats to digest.

I used the following ingredients and made two portions:

1 teaspoon oil
1 tablespoon chopped onion
1 crushed garlic clove
1 teaspoon cumin seeds
1 small cinammon stick
1 teaspoon coriander powder
pinch of tumeric powder
2 tablespoons chopped tomatos
3 tablespoons minced turkey
1.5 cups of water

1. In a pan, add the oil. Now add the cumin seeds and cinnamon stick.
2. Once they start to sizzle, add the onion and garlic and stir for a few mins till the onions lightly brown.
3. Add the turkey mince, and break down the mince with a spoon.
4. Add the coriander powder and tumeric powder.
5. Finally add the chopped tomatos, stir for a few minutes and add the water.
6. Put the lid on and increase the heat to medium heat.
7. Once the turkey looks rich in color, remove the cinnamon stick and then blend.
