INGREDIENTS
4 oz Lean Ground Turkey (113g)
2 large Egg Whites (66g)
1 slice Turkey Bacon (28g)
0.25 cup Whole Wheat Breadcrumbs (30g)
2 Tbsp Tomato Paste (33g)
0.25 cup Finely Chopped Onion (40g)
0.5 tsp Smoked Paprika
0.25 tsp Garlic Powder
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, combine the lean ground turkey, egg whites, whole wheat breadcrumbs, finely chopped onion, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until just combined; avoid overmixing to keep the meatloaf tender.
Transfer the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet and shape it into a small loaf.
Place the turkey bacon slice on top of the loaf, pressing it gently so it adheres.
Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 25-30 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
Meanwhile, prepare the BBQ glaze by mixing the tomato paste with a splash of water (or apple cider vinegar for extra tang), a pinch more smoked paprika, and a light drizzle of honey if desired.
Once the meatloaf is nearly done, remove it from the oven and brush the glaze evenly over the top.
Return to the oven for an additional 5 minutes to set the glaze and crisp the bacon further.
Let the meatloaf rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
