Turkey Loaf

 

Don’t be fooled by the picture, it’s not bread it’s meat. This turkey loaf is an adaptation from Elana’s Cookbook, the Gluten Free almond Flour Cookbook. It turned out really good! I made a few slight changes and put it in a 5X3 inch loaf pan instead of forming a loaf.

What you need:

1 pound ground turkey

1 tbsp olive oil

1 medium onion minced

2 cloves garlic, minced

1/2 cup shredded zucchini

2 large eggs

1/4 cup sugar free marinara sauce ( I used Delallo)

1/2 cup blanched almond flour

1 tsp sea salt

1tsp ground pepper

1/4 cup chopped cilantro

1 tbsp fresh thyme

 

Heat the oven to 400.

Combine turkey, oil, onion, garlic, zucchini, eggs, and marinara in a large bowl.

Combine almond flour, salt, pepper, cilantro, and thyme in a small bowl.

Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients and mix with hands until thoroughly combined.

Spray the loaf pan with oil and place the mixture in it.

Cook for 60-90 minutes or until the top is browned and the loaf is cooked all the way through.

Serve with extra marinara sauce on the side.
