Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground turkey
  • ½ cup sweet bell peppers*
  • ½ cup zucchini* sm
  • ¼ cup carrot* sm
  • ¼ cup onion*
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 1 Tablespoon worchestershire sauce
  • 1 egg
  • 3 Tablespoons tomato paste
  • 1 teaspoon basil
  • 1 teaspoon oregano
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon pepper
  • ½ cup almond flour
  • ¼ cup grated cheese
  • barbecue sauce or ketchup as needed for topping optional

Instructions

  1. * Note for the raw vegetables, I added everything to the food processor to chop them finely. However when listing the ingredients I wanted to give approximate amounts. I used roughly ½ of a small zucchini, ¼ red bell pepper and ¼ yellow red pepper, ½ small carrot and ¼ of a regular sized onion.

  2. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  3. In a food processor add onion and garlic and pulse until very fine. Add to a mixing bowl.
  4. Next add carrot, zucchini and peppers to processor and then to the mixing bowl after it's been chopped.
  5. Discard any liquid from the veggies.
  6. Add worchestershire sauce, spices, egg, almond flour and cheese the mixing bowl and mix well.
  7. Finally add the ground turkey and mix well.
  8. Spray a piece of aluminum foil that has been placed on acookie sheet and form turkey mixture into desired form. Mine always looks like a football.
  9. Add barbecue sauce or ketchup to the top and spread evenly all over meatloafl. This is optional. I grew up with ketchup on top but my husband prefers barbecue sauce. It's tasty enough with out either though.
  10. Cook in the oven for 30-40 minutes.

Recipe Notes

NOTE: You can use any veggies you like. I always use carrots, onions and peppers for their flavor but you can add others too such as zucchini, mushrooms, etc.
