I love a good, hearty and flavorful meatloaf.  I chose to make this dish with ground turkey to create variety to my weekly dinner menu and also to create a dish that is a little bit lighter but just as tasty! This is another dish I like to cook in bulk to have leftovers for another night.  To reheat the dish, I will cut the loaf into slices and heat it in a saute pan.  Serve alongside your favorite roasted veggies or easy side salad.  

Ingredients:

• 2 lbs ground turkey breast
• Avocado oil, divided
• 2 cups onion, diced
• 1 cup carrots, diced
• 2 medium apples, diced
• 2 tbsp + extra for topping, paleo ketchup (for Whole30 be sure to use a approved brand or make your own)
• 2 tbsp coconut aminos
• 2 eggs
• ½ cup Almond flour

Directions:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
• Add ground turkey to a large bowl.
• In a medium saute pan, heat 3.5 Tbsp avocado oil.
• Add carrots, onion and 2 tsp salt.  Cook until soft and beginning to brown.
• Remove from pan and add to bowl with ground turkey.
• Add 2 Tbsp avocado oil to the saute pan.
• Add the chopped apples and cook until they begin soften.
• Once cooked, add apples to bowl with ground turkey alone with any remaining oil in the pan.
• Add 2 tbsp paleo ketchup, coconut aminos, 2 tsp salt, eggs and almond flour to the bowl.
• Mix well.
• Place mixture in a loaf pan or medium size casserole dish.
• Top meatloaf with a layer of ketchup*
• Cover with foil and bake for about an 1 hour.  Remove the foil for the last 15 minutes.

Notes:

*This ketchup is in addition to the 2 Tbsp previously used.
