pureed veggies is good, did you add something to the turkey meatball like a sauce? At this stage it's probably best to add a little gravy or tomato-based sauce to make it more pureed. Are you allowed eggs? Maybe some oatmeal etc.

I managed to avoid purees altogether in my "pureed" stage, because I found the texture disgusting as well. I just stuck to my Protein shakes, strained Soups, yogurt, and soft cheeses until I was allowed to start my "soft foods" stage.

It's great that you are getting in your Protein and Water. That is what you should REALLY be focusing on. Also, here's a good website that has some ideas for the "pureed" stage that are almost like real food. I *loved* the baked ricotta recipe:
