The Ultimate Turkey Meatloaf

Print Recipe Pin Recipe
Prep Time 15 minutes
Cook Time 45 minutes
Servings 1 loaf

Ingredients

  • 1 lb organic ground turkey (I've also used a pack of 1.5 lbs and it works!)
  • ½ cup breadcrumbs (gf or regular)
  • 1 egg
  • ½ small yellow onion (or shallot)
  • ½ cup kale (finely chopped)
  • cup frozen peas
  • ½ tsp sea salt
  • ¼ tsp garlic powder
  • splash olive oil
Tomato Glaze:
  • 2 tbsp tomato paste
  • 1 tsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1/4 tsp honey
  • 1 tsp tamari (soy sauce or coconut aminos work too)

Instructions

  • Pre-heat oven to 350. Saute chopped onion, chopped kale, and frozen peas in a little olive oil. Do not add more than a pinch of salt! I did this once as second-nature and it was over salted. You’ll add the salt later. Set aside to cool.
  • Combine ground turkey, egg, breadcrumbs, salt, garlic powder, and splash of olive oil in a bowl. Add in the cooled veggies and mix to combine, but do not over mix.
  • Pour into greased loaf pan (I usually spray some coconut or avocado oil, but you can do whatever works).
  • If using the tomato topping, mix all ingredients into a small bowl and spread evenly on top. Ketchup can be used instead. Cook for 40-45 minutes. When the edges are a bit golden and crispy, you’re good to go.

Notes

For leftovers, I love to reheat right in a pan with a little olive oil to crisp up both sides.
