Ingredients
-
1 medium yellow or white onion, chopped
-
2 garlic cloves, minced
-
1 tbsp olive oil
-
1 lb ground turkey
-
½ cup fresh parsley, chopped
-
1 tsp dried oregano
-
⅓ cup almond flour
-
1 whole egg
-
Salt and black pepper, to taste
-
½ cup sugar-free ketchup (for topping)
Instructions
1. Preheat the Oven
-
Heat oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Cook the Aromatics
-
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
-
Add the chopped onion and garlic. Sauté until the onions are soft and golden, about 5–6 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
3. Prepare the Meatloaf Mixture
-
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground turkey, parsley, sautéed onion mixture, dried oregano, almond flour, egg, salt, and pepper.
-
Mix gently until just combined — avoid overmixing to keep the meatloaf tender.
4. Shape and Top
-
Transfer the mixture into a loaf pan and shape evenly.
-
Spread the sugar-free ketchup evenly over the top.
5. Bake
-
Bake for 45–50 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
-
Check at the 45-minute mark to avoid overcooking.
6. Rest and Serve
-
Remove from the oven and let rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
-
Serve with mashed potatoes, roasted green beans, or your favorite side dish.
Make Ahead & Storage

Make Ahead: Assemble the uncooked meatloaf, cover tightly, and refrigerate for up to 24 hours before baking.
-
Refrigerator: Store leftover slices in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
-
Freezer: Wrap cooked slices individually and freeze for up to 3 months. Reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) until warmed through.
