I pretty much emulsified Ground Beef or Chicken with water in the food processor.. and then blended it with sweet potato and a veggie to make it smooth.

I baked some chicken thighs and then blended with water and mixed it with her veggies. DD wasn't really a fan but at 16 months it's still really hard to get her to eat meat. She actually did better with the earth's best jars than any of the meat I tried to make for her so I gave her those sometimes.

I was no a fan of pureeing meats either. The first meat DS had was turkey chopmeat that I browned and spoon fed with some veggies. for chicken; I slow cooked it for 6 hours in a little water (seasoned with a dash of garlic) an just cut it up small enough for him to pick up with his hand. I also spoon feed it mixed in with veggies. It's so tender from the slow cooker it mixes well with the veggies I don't have to puree it and he can easily swallow it.

Other than purees, the first things I let DD try were meatloaf and roasted or poached chicken thighs. The thighs and legs are less dry than the white meat chicken so I always gave DD dark meat at first. Either poached if it was boneless or baked if it was bone in, skin on.

I made a beef stew in the oven. I cooked beef, potato, carrot, zucchini in the oven for about 2 hours in water. (sometimes added tomato and other veggies). I then pureed them with the liquid. It worked out great for DS. I did the same with chicken (obviously didn't cook for as long). chicken has a much drier texture, so I made sure I used more potato and a lot more of the cooking liquid.

We just give DD whatever we eat, so if we broil a chicken breast or grill a steak/pork chop, we just cut off bite sized pieces for her. We also use our slow cooker a lot and the meats are the perfect consistency for DD
