We are already thinking about how to make Thanksgiving special for those who have a modified diet. Check out these examples of Thanksgiving purees:

Turkey and vegetable puree: Cook turkey meat until tender, then blend it with steamed or roasted vegetables like carrots, peas, or green beans.

Sweet potato and squash: Bake and puree sweet potatoes or butternut squash with a little butter, maple syrup, or other seasonings.

Mashed potatoes: Blend mashed potatoes with broth, gravy, or roasted garlic for a smoother consistency.

Four-root puree: A mix of pureed root vegetables like potatoes, carrots, parsnips, and beets, often seasoned with lemon, butter, and maple syrup.

Pumpkin pie puree: A crustless version of pumpkin pie can be blended for a smooth, easy-to-eat dessert.

Tips for making Thanksgiving purees

Adjust texture: Make purees smoother for younger children and slightly chunkier for those who are ready for more texture.

Control consistency: Add liquid, like broth or gravy, gradually to achieve your desired consistency.

Introduce spices gradually: If making for a baby, start with a small amount of spices like cinnamon or thyme.

Store and freeze: Prepare large batches and store them in the refrigerator for up to three days or freeze individual portions for later use.
