These tasty mini turkey balls make a brilliantly festive finger food for your weaning baby. They'll also be gobbled up by older children and we think they'd make rather stylish Christmas canapés for a Christmas party.
You can cook the balls in the oven or fry them on the hob.

step 1
Prick the sweet potato and cook in a microwave for 10 minutes until soft. Leave to cool. Scoop out the potato. Grate the parsnip
-
step 2
Put the sweet potato flesh, the grated parsnip and all the ingredients, except the sunflower oil, into a food processor. Whizz until finely chopped. Season (for babies over 1 year) and shape into 25 balls

Heat the sunflower oil in a frying pan. Fry the turkey balls for 8 to 10 minutes, turning them, until golden and cooked through
