Any ideas on how to get a picky toddler to eat meat?
LOL. I was a vegetarian for 8 years and never thought that I would have an issue with my toddler not eating meat.
The only two meat items he will eat are breaded fish sticks and ham (which I refuse to buy due to the preservative and salt content). He won't eat beans but loves eggs. So at least he is getting a bit of protein.
Has anyone found a meat based recipe that a toddler won't refuse?

I am no help here. My little guy is so darn picky, he has a texture issue. So at 20 months he'll still eat any fruit or vegetable I puree but will only eat bananas in their true form. He adores bread so I make my own whole grain loaf each week, I make a muffin of the week where I hide all kinds of whole grains, fruit and veggies and I make my own organic yogurt for him. But he's just as bad about meat. I feel your pain.

Have you tried dips- not just the traditional ketchup or ranch. Pork goes great with applesauce. Chicken dipped in a little honey or apricot jelly thinned out. roasted turkey breast with a little thinned cranberry sauce. My girls loved the art of dipping and now that they are a bit older they dont shrug if my DH makes a balsalmic sauce over something. Worth a try!

you can make some amazing breaded / popcorn shrimp, just use 1 egg, some bread crumbs with whatever spices you want and coconut (shredded), put it all in a bag with the shripm and shake it like a polaroid picture, get your toddler to shake it, and then bake. TADA, yummo!

Tuna casserole and manwich? I'm not a mom so I don't speak from experience but I asked my husband what he liked as a kid :)

I have no idea my 3.5 yr old will only eat Steak and polish sausage (hillshire lean). My 14m old will only eat chicken (but thats more to her illness then anything).
What about other foods protein riched? such as from this link

ketchup and dips is a great idea as the pp said. ketchup here is like a food of its own works wonders or chivaettas which is big in wny not much else LOL
