Ingredients

Meatloaf Ingredients

  • 2 cups finely diced yellow onion
  • 2 tbsp. ghee
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/2 tsp. dried thyme
  • 1 tbsp. tomato paste
  • 1 tbsp. coconut aminos or tamari not whole 30 ingredient but preferred
  • 2 lbs. ground turkey or beef depending on preference
  • 2 eggs beaten
  • 1/2 cup almond flour make my own from almond pulp

For the Sauce

  • 1/2 cup tomato sauce
  • 1 tbsp. tomato paste
  • 1 tbsp. coconut aminos/tamari
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tsp. yellow mustard
  • 1 tsp. Sriracha hot sauce
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  2. Heat ghee in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and thyme and saute until tender, about 7 minutes.
  3. Remove from heat and stir in the tomato paste and coconut aminos. Set aside to let cool.
  4. When cool, place ground beef, almond flour, 2 beaten eggs, and plenty of salt and pepper (to taste) in a bowl. Pour the onion mixture on top , and mix lightly with a fork (don't mash or the meat loaf will be dense).
  5. Shape the mixture into a rectangular loaf on a sheet pan covered with parchment paper.
  6. In a bowl, combine all of the "for the sauce" ingredients, stir to combine.
  7. Spread the sauce over the top of the meatloaf, evenly.
  8. Bake beef meatloaf for 1 hour or turkey for 40 minutes (it gets dry if overcooked) at 350°F, or until a meat thermometer inserted into the center of the meatloaf reads 155°F. Remove from oven and let sit for 10 minutes before slicing. Enjoy!
