Keto Turkey Meatloaf
A cozy, satisfying Keto Turkey Meatloaf that is perfectly moist and low carb, using fine almond flour instead of traditional breadcrumbs.
Ingredients
Vegetables & Aromatics
- 1 Tbsp avocado oil For sautéing vegetables
- 1 small onion Diced finely
- 2 tsp minced garlic Freshly minced is best
Meatloaf Base
- 2 lbs ground turkey 85/15 Do not use 99% lean
- 1/4 Cup chopped fresh parsley Adds a bright flavor
- 1 tsp kosher salt Adjust to your taste
- 1/2 tsp black pepper Freshly ground preferred
- 1/4 Cup chicken broth Adds essential moisture
- 2 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce Boosts the savory flavor
- 2 Large eggs Room temperature
- 3/4 Cup almond flour
Glaze
- 3/4 Cup sugar free ketchup For the perfect glaze
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Prepare your large baking sheet by coating it with a quality non-stick cooking spray, or lining it tightly with foil.
- Heat the avocado oil in your small skillet over medium heat. Add your diced onion and cook slowly until it becomes translucent (about 8 minutes).
- Stir the minced garlic into the skillet and cook for just one more minute. Remove the skillet from the heat right away and set aside to cool.
- In a large mixing bowl, add the raw ground turkey. Scrape the cooled onion and garlic over the meat. Sprinkle your chopped fresh parsley, kosher salt, and black pepper on top.
- Pour the chicken broth and Worcestershire sauce into the bowl. Crack both eggs directly into the mix, then sprinkle the almond flour evenly over everything.
- Mix the ingredients gently with your hands until evenly combined. Do not overwork the ground turkey, or the meatloaf will become dense.
- Transfer the mixture onto your prepared sheet pan. Shape it gently into a tight rectangular shape. Spread your sugar free ketchup evenly over the top.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes to one hour. Use a digital meat thermometer to check the center; it must read exactly 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Let the meat rest for at least ten minutes before slicing so the hot juices can redistribute.
Notes
Substitutions: Crushed pork rinds make an excellent one-to-one replacement for almond flour. You can also use an 80/20 ground beef blend instead of ground turkey.
Storage: Wrap the cooled meat tightly in plastic wrap and place it into an airtight container. Freeze whole or in individual slices for up to three months. Thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating.
