In addition to the listed vegetables, you can add some carrots and potatoes to the dish.
In addition to baking in the oven, turkey with zucchini can be put out in a frying pan, saucepan, cauldron or in a slow cooker with the addition of a small amount of water or broth. And also fry.
If you cut everything into small pieces, then this dish is suitable for small children from 8-9 months, when it's time to teach them to eat pieces in addition to various purees. However, in this case, it is better not to add a tomato (if there is an allergy) or replace it with some other non-allergenic vegetable, such as potatoes.
My child's vegetable purees from zucchini broccoli and cauliflower are still loved, although he is already 7 years old, and from meat - turkey. He loves them from infancy. Therefore, when it came time to switch to a more solid food, I chose this combination. However, it was not baked in an open form, since the meat on top acquires a slightly hard crust, which is difficult for a child to chew with his miniature teeth, but baked either in a pot in broth or stewed in a frying pan.
