INGREDIENTS

6 oz ground turkey

1 slice bacon

1 large egg

0.5 tbsp almond flour

2 tbsp sugar-free BBQ sauce

0.25 cup yellow onion

0.25 cup red bell pepper

0.5 tsp smoked paprika

0.25 tsp garlic powder

0.25 tsp sea salt

0.25 tsp black pepper

PREPARATION

• 1

  Preheat your oven to 375°F and line a small baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

• 2

  In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground turkey, egg, almond flour, 1 tablespoon of BBQ sauce, onion, bell pepper, and all the spices.

• 3

  Gently mix the ingredients with your hands until just combined, taking care not to overwork the meat which can make it tough.

• 4

  Shape the turkey mixture into a compact rectangular loaf and place it onto the prepared baking sheet.

• 5

  Lay the bacon slices across the top of the loaf, tucking the ends slightly underneath the meat to secure them.

• 6

  Bake for 25 minutes, then remove the tray and brush the remaining 1 tablespoon of BBQ sauce over the top of the bacon.

• 7

  Return the loaf to the oven for another 10 to 15 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 165°F and the bacon is crispy.

• 8

  Let the meatloaf rest for 5 minutes before slicing to ensure the juices redistribute for a moist finish.
