Many nutritionists and pediatricians advise limiting fatty meats such as pork in a child’s diet and replacing it with more nutritious and low-calorie turkey meat.
Compared to other types, turkey meat is simply teeming with iron, zinc and sodium, which normalizes metabolic processes in the child’s body. In addition, turkey contains as much phosphorus as fish. Turkey is rich in vitamins A, B2, B6 and PP. You can make incredibly tasty cutlets from turkey, which will make your children's lunch more hearty and satisfying.
Steamed turkey cutlets in a slow cooker are suitable for children over 1 year old.
To prepare turkey cutlets you need:
- 500 g turkey fillet (preferably breast)
- 2-3 slices of white bread
- 1 medium onion
- 2 small eggs (one is enough, but a large one)
- ½ glass of milk
- Salt, to taste (or 0.5 tsp)
Steamed turkey cutlets in a slow cooker for a child over 1 year old:
1. Turkey meat for preparing children's dishes must be fresh. Or once defrosted.
2. Pour a little milk into a plate and soak the pieces of bread in it.
3. Grind the turkey meat in a meat grinder twice. You can use a blender if the meat portion is small.
Using a meat grinder, we also grind the onion and bread soaked in milk.
4. Now add eggs to the resulting minced meat and salt to taste. You can add various herbs that the child has a positive attitude towards.
5. Mix the minced meat until smooth.
6. It is better for a child to make the cutlets small, so it will be easier for him to cope with them. To prevent the minced meat from sticking to your hands when modeling, you can moisten them with water.
7. Add a liter of water to the multicooker pan and install a steam rack. Place the cutlets on the grill at a short distance from each other. If the cutlets are medium in size, then you can cook 8-9 cutlets at a time. The rest can be frozen or prepared as a second serving.
8. Cooking “Steamed”. Time - 40-50 minutes. After the specified time, steamed turkey cutlets in a slow cooker can be served.
9. For children, turkey cutlets are best served with vegetables. You can also serve the cutlets with mashed potatoes, which can be boiled in tandem with the cutlets. To do this, you just need to chop it up and put it in a bowl of water.
If a child of 1.5 years is not yet accustomed to eating in pieces, this cutlet can be pureed with a blender and diluted with boiled water to the desired consistency.
Turkey cutlets do not differ much in taste from chicken cutlets and are great for a child’s diet to replenish their strength throughout the day.
Steamed turkey cutlets for children with cheese
Steamed turkey cutlets for our precious babies! Soft and juicy - picky eaters will eat everything!
Feeding a pencil baby is sometimes so difficult! And the older the jumper gets, the more picky he is in food: this is “someday”, then “ninya”, and serve “kasek” (candy) “ashche” (more). And this despite the fact that we basically don’t have any sweets in our house. But as soon as a child tried “kasek” for a holiday, the person firmly remembered that it was sweet and tasty =)
The persistent mother and no less stubborn father of the most beautiful girl on planet Earth continue to instill in the child a taste for proper and healthy foods. And this most beautiful child first devours meat purees from jars of baby food by both cheeks (not purees carefully prepared by his mother, but exclusively factory canned food), and when joyful parents buy jars for future use, he flatly refuses them, demanding a piece of meat from his father’s plate. If you sit in grandfather’s arms, you can also lick a pepper pod, which grandfather eats as a snack with borscht. And even at this, do not cry, but only wince firmly: after all, the grandfather strictly warned that it is impossible! =)
Having eaten my fill of my daughter’s baby purees, I decided that’s enough. If he wants to eat what we eat, let him eat. I fry cutlets very rarely, I only do them in the oven or steamed, which is quite suitable for a child. Baked cutlets are still not quite suitable for a baby’s stomach, but steamed turkey cutlets with cheese are just right.
My husband and I also don’t mind trying the delicious, juicy and very tender baby turkey cutlets with cheese that I cook for our daughter =)
Steamed cutlets with cheese for children - ingredients:

- Onion – 70 g
- Bread - 30 g
- Hard cheese - 100 g
- Milk – 100 ml
- Quail eggs - 3 pcs

For these cutlets, I always take a piece of wheat loaf. It is advisable to dry the bread, otherwise the cutlets will be sticky. For example, in the evening I cut off a piece of loaf and leave it on the table, and in the morning I cook cutlets. Cheese - any hard cheese to taste. I don't add any spices and add minimal salt.
Steamed turkey cutlets in a slow cooker - recipe:
Grind the fillet in a blender. I make it smaller to make it more fluffy.
Soak the bread in milk and squeeze lightly. Grind the onion in a blender.
Mix the minced meat, bread, chopped onion and quail eggs in a bowl until smooth.
Grate the cheese on a fine grater, add to the cutlet mass, and add salt.
Mix again. Beat the minced meat: plop it forcefully into the bowl several times. This will make the cutlets more fluffy.
We form the minced meat into cutlets and place them on the steamer rack. Cook in a double boiler or steamed slow cooker.
Today the bunny has a sweet carrot as a side dish =) Decorate the porridge on a plate and just chew it like candy =)
I cook steamed turkey cutlets for children for about 40 minutes.
I know that my friend steams baby cutlets for at least an hour. While turkey needs 25 minutes. In choosing the middle ground, I think I'm doing the right thing: 1 hour is too long and 25 minutes is too short for steaming baby turkey cutlets with cheese.

Turkey cutlets for young children are an excellent solution for a tasty and healthy lunch. When preparing such a dish, it is necessary to take into account the characteristics of the child’s body. We’ll tell you how to make delicious and healthy baby cutlets right now.
Features and benefits of the dish
For full development and nutrition, a child must eat meat. Meat products are rich not only in protein, but also in a variety of vitamins, which help the baby to fully develop and strengthen his health. Turkey meat is very good for children. As a rule, it is recommended to introduce it into the diet of babies starting from eight to nine months. To begin with, a small amount of boiled meat puree is introduced as complementary food. If the child’s body responds well to a new product, then it is quite possible to introduce it into the daily menu.
The best option is to prepare tender and healthy cutlets for your child. Of course, they need to be prepared following special recipes, because a fried dish that adults are accustomed to is not suitable for a one-year-old child.
It is worth noting that turkey meat is perfectly absorbed by the child’s body. In addition to the fact that it is a dietary product, such meat is recommended for children with anemia and low hemoglobin levels. In addition, turkey helps to establish metabolic processes in the child’s body. Also, thanks to numerous vitamins and elements, eating turkey meat helps strengthen bone tissue, hair, nails, normalizes sleep and gives strength and vigor to the baby.
Remember that steamed cutlets are perfect for children aged 1 year, 2 years and older. Children should be given exclusively freshly prepared cutlets. Try to give them in the first half of the day so that the eaten product is better absorbed.
In order to prepare turkey cutlets for babies, the meat can be pre-boiled or prepared from raw minced meat.
As a rule, for children, such a dish is steamed, in a slow cooker, or baked in the oven.
Prepare cutlets exclusively from fresh meat. Make minced meat yourself at home. To keep the minced meat tender, pass the meat through a meat grinder several times or use a blender.
If you are preparing cutlets for children under one year old, then the minced meat should not contain any spices, including salt. And you only need to cook the dish by steaming it. After a year, children can add a little salt to their food, but remember that very little spices are needed.
When preparing the cutlets, if there is a need to dilute the minced meat a little, it is best to use vegetable broth. For older children, try to prepare cutlets that contain healthy vegetables.
If the recipe contains eggs, then it is better to choose quail instead of chicken. They do not cause allergic reactions and are considered more beneficial.
Delicious recipes
We will start with the simplest recipe, which is suitable for children of any age. We take two hundred grams of minced meat and add there a small piece of white bread (crumb only), which was previously soaked in boiled water. Stir the minced meat until smooth and add a little salt.
Remember that for children under one year old it is better not to add salt to cutlets.
Afterwards, we form small meat balls and steam them for thirty to thirty-five minutes.
The following recipe is perfect for older children. Take three hundred grams of minced meat and add to it one onion and one medium-sized carrot. Grind the vegetables through a fine grater or grind them in a blender. Afterwards, mix everything until smooth, add a little salt and beat the minced meat. After this, we form small cutlets and place them on a baking sheet, previously covered with baking paper. Cook for exactly forty minutes in the oven at 150°.
If desired, these same cutlets can be steamed. The cutlets turn out very tender, juicy and tasty.
If your child already eats soups and other dishes with pieces of meat, you can prepare chopped turkey cutlets for him for lunch. Take three hundred grams of turkey breast and cut into small cubes. After this, chop the entire resulting mass with a large knife, chopping the meat. Next, grind one small onion and one hundred grams of pumpkin in a blender. Add vegetables to the minced meat, mix thoroughly, add a little salt and beat one egg. Let the minced meat sit for twenty minutes. After this, we form small cutlets and place them on a baking sheet.
If you use foil instead of baking paper, the taste of the finished dish will be brighter and richer.
Such cutlets are baked at a temperature of 150° for thirty-five to forty minutes.
The recipe for the following dish can become a complete lunch for your baby. A child will eat these cutlets with great pleasure; he won’t even need a side dish. Take four hundred grams of cooked minced meat and add exactly two hundred grams of potatoes to it. The potatoes must first be chopped using a fine grater or blender. Next, add four quail eggs (or two chicken), a little salt and literally two tablespoons of semolina.
Mix everything thoroughly and leave the minced meat for ten minutes. During this time, the semolina will increase slightly in volume, and the cutlets will hold their shape better. We form cutlets of the required size and steam them. Such cutlets can be given to children two years old, and older children can bake them in the oven and add a little fresh herbs to the minced meat.
For lunch you can prepare not just cutlets, but a whole dish that includes vegetables, meat and grains. The following recipe is perfect for a children's menu and even adults will like it. Take four hundred grams of minced turkey and add fifty grams of boiled rice to it. Grate one onion and a medium-sized zucchini.
You should grate them on a fine grater or chop the vegetables in a blender.
After that, add the vegetable mass to the minced meat, beat two eggs, add a little salt and knead. Next, we form the cutlets and cook. You can steam them, you can cook them in the oven, or you can stew them in vegetable broth.
You will learn how to cook turkey cutlets for children in the following video.
Meat puree replenishes the baby's diet with the introduction of complementary foods. This nutritional ingredient is rich in vitamins, minerals, fats and proteins. As the baby grows, the mother can offer the child dishes close to the adult table. In this case, the baby will have to spend effort not chewing the thicker consistency of food, gradually improving this skill.
Meatballs, meatballs, cutlets for children 1 year old are prepared from minced meat, fish and vegetables; poultry is often used. At the same time, the baby is still not ready to receive “adult” food. Therefore, it is so important to take into account the specifics of choosing types of meat, vegetable components, and recommendations for culinary processing of children’s food.
Meat, even processed into minced meat, requires thorough chewing, so you can try it for the first time no earlier than one year. You should start with small portions of 70–80 grams several times a week. When the baby gets used to it, you can eat meat cutlets every day; 1-2 times a week you should diversify the menu with fish analogues. Vegetable ingredients and offal (liver) are also used to prepare cutlets. In order for the baby to receive all the beneficial substances from food, it must be properly processed.
- Cutlets fried in a frying pan are not suitable for children; they can be included in the menu after 3 years of age. They turn out too greasy and have a thick crust. Proper heat treatment involves minimal use of fats. The ideal solution would be to cook the cutlets in the oven (on a baking sheet, in foil or in a baking bag), in a multicooker (“Steam” mode), or steamed (in a double boiler, in a water bath, in a pressure cooker).
- Minced meat should be prepared only from high-quality ingredients. They prefer unfrozen pieces of meat and fresh seasonal vegetables.
- Before starting the culinary process, all products are washed, subjected to a soaking procedure (to reduce allergenicity), and minced twice with a meat grinder. You can use a food processor or chopper, but the consistency of the minced meat will be different, more homogeneous.
- You need to add bread to the mixture. To do this, pre-soak it in water, broth, milk.
- In the diet of children, preference is given to veal, beef, rabbit, and turkey. Chicken is given with caution due to its high allergenicity.
- Fish is considered more allergenic than meat. At the same time, choose low-fat varieties: pollock, cod, hake.
- Baby cutlets can be made from vegetables: white or cauliflower, broccoli, carrots, potatoes, zucchini, etc.
- Once formed, the patties can be frozen and removed as needed for cooking. Repeated freezing, as well as heating of ready-made cutlets, is unacceptable.
- Salt is used in children's diets in limited quantities.
