Ingredients
- MEATLOAF
2 lbs ground turkey (93% lean recommended)
1 cup grated zucchini, excess liquid squeezed out
1 cup grated carrots, excess liquid squeezed out
1 egg, beaten
2/3 cup almond flour
2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
2 tsp garlic powder
2 tsp oregano
1/4 cup coconut aminos or tamari
1/3 cup sugar-free ketchup
- GLAZE
1/2 cup sugar-free ketchup
1/4 cup coconut aminos or tamari
2 tbsp maple syrup
Directions
- Preheat your oven to 375 degrees and grease a loaf pan or line it with parchment paper. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground turkey, grated zucchini and carrots, egg, almond flour, spices, coconut aminos, and ketchup.
- Incorporate until it’s a uniform mixture, then transfer to the loaf pan. Press down so the turkey mix fills the loaf pan and has a flat top.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the ketchup, coconut aminos, and maple syrup for the glaze. Pour the glaze on top, spread it evenly, and place the meatloaf in the oven.
- Bake for 40-50 minutes, or until the turkey is fully cooked at a temperate of 165 degrees. Remove from the oven and let cool completely before carefully removing the meatloaf from the pan and slicing into ~8 pieces.
- Enjoy immediately or store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to four days in an airtight container.
Notes
- As a sub for the almond flour, you can replace it with breadcrumbs if you are not gluten-free.
